True, maybe Santa could sell Rudolf or one of his other reindeers! Chips aren’t that heavy to transport, he wouldn’t need the whole pack. But look on the bright side! The super rare AMD K6 3D/266 ES can be in your collection in two weeks. 
Mmmh interesting, not many people seem to be interested in the Weitek chips. I thought they were rare and highly collectable?!  |

CPU or FPU normally are.. ALUs medium appeal...multipliers have less appeal for most collectors
these being ALU/Multiplier chipset should do reasonable well

| I thought the 1164 and 1165 combination made up a FPU. |

Yes.. but not everyone sees them as a FPU

So in a way it is a forgotten FPU, the one that few know about! A math coprocessor that needs some serious marketing.  |

Weitek 3167 and 4167 are the ones that most people seem to be after, including me!

So, the collectors from Down Under go for the 'common' Weiteks!
@hugo, yes i am selling a part of my collection. I will keep most of the FPU's and pre 486 cpu's for now and sell the rest. |
