They are rare and lots of people in the computer field collect them. They bring a premium.

    Intel Xeon E7 8870 30M Cache 2 40 GHz Q5DW ES Confidential Missing Resistor | eBay
    New Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 CPU Processor QGPK ES Confidential 2 83GHz 12MB 1333 | eBay

    But that really should be a topic for a separate thread, we shouldn't hijack ewasted's thread.
    Got it! Sadly, mine are just average chips. Good catch, though. I didn't notice the image was of prototype processors. Mine are the same socket, but they're just worthless 1.5 GHz Pentium 4's.

    Back on track: I'm assuming the motherboards are large socket, and the CPUs are Green Fiber with heatsink and pins?



    Slightly off track: On these (and the Socket 478 Pentium 4s), would I make more money leaving the heatsinks on or removing them? The price for processors without heatsinks is about $10/pound higher. Is it wiser to leave the heatsinks on, or to pull them and sell them separately (As aluminum???)

    Thanks!

    I get a better price at my local yards for clean aluminum. I figure the more space I can save in an eWaste shipment, the better
