Hello fellow E-Scrapper,
Today I scrapped two older 386 computers today.
:-/ I was perplexed what to do with the CPU modules. :-/
One is a GATEWAY 2000 386SX-16 CPU MODULE (p/n 2576010-2) with an Intel i386SX-25 chip soldered on the board.
The other is an AST Processor Board (p/n 202401-002D) with an AMD Am386 SX/SXL-25 chip soldered on board.
Do they go with the other high grade board (i.e HD logic boards) or with the Mother boards?
Thanks in advance.... Fred :)
If it's soldered on, leave it on the board. You will actually devalue the board if you take it off. I would contact your board buyer for pricing.
not exactly sure what you mean by "CPU module" but looks like you have a 16 Mhz and a 25 Mhz, which you might want to look up on ebay to see if there's any selling there
I know for myself, I don't take the processors off of the boards that are soldered on.
I just don't like to take the boards to my buyers all butchered up.
Like Bear said, I have recently started eBaying some of the older stuff before I scrap it.
I have had pretty good luck with that.
The will go with your mother boards but will got for a bit more than mother boards.
if you get $3 per # for normal boards expect to get $3.20 - 3.35 per # depending on your buyer for those
He is talking about CPU modules that connect to the motherboard, not ripping the chip off the motherboard.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't realize those 386's didn't have a ceramic intel CPU chip on them. C'est la vie!
But I got a cool 5 1/4 floppy drive I'm gonna try to sell on eBay.
Im going to see if I could sell those boards too. ;-)
If the gateway 386 was running and looked decent you could have made some money selling it whole.
