$13.25 Green/Brown Fiber without Heatsink
$13.25 Slot Processor

( That's the simple answer )

A little more complicated: Look at how the processor is made. Answer the following questions.

1: Does it have a cap ? ( heatsink )

2: Does it have pins ?

3: Is it ceramic or fiber ?

4: If fiber ... what color is the fiber ? ( Green,Brown,or Black.)

=======================================

Bottom line: My guess would be that it's a P-4 made sometime in the early to mid 2000's but more information is needed.

Could you post a pic -or- list the information imprinted on the heatsink ?

That would help narrow it down for Ewasted.


Nailed it! Thanks!
