    There should be CPU on the Motherboards, in the case of 80's/Early 90's motherboards, I expect them to be 'Purple Ceramics'.
    The exception is Apples/Macs and 'Slot processors', where the CPU is on a separate board that plugs into a slot on the Motherboard.

    Google image CPU to see later model CPU, a bit more searching will give you pics of older larger CPU. Purple ceramic, green fibre, brown fibre, black fibre(glass fibre- fiberglass) with a little rectangle (that's the actual CPU chip) in its centre.
    The pins will all be Gold plated pins.
