the ES marking on the die cap is a standard Malay production marking.
the ES marking needs to be on the top side of the processor to be an Engineering sample

But the chip on the bottom is still VERY rare. It's a Pentium overdrive for socket 4!
A very nice find - not every collector here has one! |

| at least you guys can afford to spend 5-10 -20 euro for a cpu ... to get a sample or a rare one .. i cannot afford to give more than 2-3 euros and maxim 15-20/month |
