Need help grading these boards please

[ScrapperSkip]

These came out of an old Intel computer and I'm curious how they would be graded.

First picture is the MB, is it more than just a high grade MB? Lots of IC's on it.



Second picture is a board with two cpu's on it, one says 486 (cracked it when I removed the heat sink). I'm thinking it has to be better than slot processor price due to the 2 ceramic cpu's on it. It weighs around .4 lbs. and the cpu's alone should be worth $10 or so.

Third picture is some finger boards with lots of IC's, would they be telecom or?

Thanks for your help, I'm trying to learn all I can and it's rare to find these old boards.

If you do any Ebaying you'll do best to put those kind on there

No, I don't sell on eBay. No time for that but thanks for the tip. Would someone buy them for gold refining or collecting? I'm guessing I should've left the heat sink on the cpu but then I wouldn't have known it was a 486...

you'd need a bunch to go the refining route. Not much chance of getting a decent price outside of ebay
There's a lot of those that gets scrapped before they even know what they had or if it worked.
From here about all to do is put them in the pile

Yeah, I'll let Mario sort it out. I was most curious about the processor board.

I forgot to mention that one too Skip. You'll have to ask him what to do with it I'm not really sure what those go in

If it has dual processors then I think their classified as server boards, either a large or small socket. Might be larger than normal.
example only.

It's got the CPUs on it though

Thanks guys, the cpu's are soldered on the board and was attached to the MB like a finger card. Wondering if I should cut the cpu's off the board or what? Most of the value is in the cpu's and even at slot processor price it would only be worth $4. (.4 lb.@ $10/lb.) Those 486's should be $5 each, Although the second chip doesn't say 486 on it so I don't know.

if its soldered on leave it on.

Board 1 remove anything that is socketed in and sell as high grade mobo.
Board 2 I would remove those chips and agree they are worth more than the board they are on.
Board 3 remove all socketed chips and sell as finger boards.

Even if your buyer down grades board 2 you are still ahead of the game.

imho, board 1 would go as high grade/dual socket large (pulled the same one the other day); board 2 would fall into CPU board category (buyers usually have one, usually just not listed) but you can desolder them and get telecom-finger card which are about the same price; and board 3 can go for finger cards/telecom $4ish range.
