Old cpus source?

[goldenburd]

So i found out that my neighbor is moving aswell and he offered to let me help him look through his basement well at first look/question he told me he had some intel Pentium 3's and alot more older computer hardware CRT monitors ect all in mint condition. Is there anything I should keep my eye out for? I'll try to get pictures soon. Time to learn about computers. Just from the basic look he's an IT guy has servers everywhere.

If you find a Slot 1 Pentium III 1 GHz, that's expensive.

What would it look like? He did say something about a Pentium that was on the era of being socket and being soldiered in but it was like a graphics card today with a fan?

Already saw some of his psus that are like 500 usd these days think it was a antec stealth with a black heatsink around it?  Everything is in original packaging so its worth a bit but he has to get rid of some.

Like this, except with a III instead of a II.

I don't think there are any markings as to their clockspeed on the cartridges.

Thats what he was describing.

Yeah that sounds like Slot1 Could be anything on there, like a Celeron, PII PIII. I had a Katmai as my first CPU in an HP Pavilion with aftermarket VooDoo II lol, and after a few CPUs ended up with a nice Coppermine that I was able to run at 1.06GHz on a Soyo Dragon. P4 was alive and well by that point though. I barely remember those days wow.

Not sure about the PIIIs, but they are usually marked on the top along with some other information.

My P3 just says "Pentium !!!" on the side.

No markings on the top.

I gotta get pictures. I thought i might hit the forum because i don't want any artifacts to go to waste 

[freeagent]

I have some of my favorite CPU's from over the years too. Not all of them unfortunately. Old hardware is nothing like todays hardware, obviously I suppose.. but those days were special, because real pioneering was happening. There are guys here with much much more knowledge then I have.. I listen to them, you young whippersnappers should too

If it's all free to you then take it. Seriously. Even if it looks beat up and rusted take it. I see a lot of very nice stuff there.

I can't im moving to

There are enough pieces to make a nice buck evenif it was all broken (humidity and age). If that stuff works some of it might actually bring a nice bunch of money if you find a collector. Probably the very old stuff. DDR3 is pretty expensive on ebay as well. 

 

But yeah, I remember the days of that tech era. My first new PC was a 486DX2 with 8MB memory (and then P2, P4, Athlon XP, Core 2 Duo, some Intel Macs, Core i 4th gen and now Ryzen). Damn, I'm old.
