the listing itself is not funny..

A lot of "Opteron X2" processors:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290788854058&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

The title states they are "engineering samples", and "Opteron, not Athlon", but then the seller lists ADO4600IAA5CZ part number. Either the seller made a mistake or two in the listing, or they are some kind of super rare chips, marked as "Opteron X2", and having Athlon X2 part number ... Smile

After looking at the picture in this auction:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/INTEL-486-SX-CPU-circa-1992-/151029049952

this part of the description looked funny:

This chip was in fully working order when removed from the computer.

I just stumbled on the "Extremely RARE Mostek *Q* Processor Chip" auction, that I thought the description was kind of funny:
