What's this??

Recently i've found this processor cartridge, but i don't what it is.
Any idea?

judging by the layout of the board and the size/shape of the die, id say its a pentium 2..

if you look on the back of the card there should be a sticker there, try googling some of those numbers.

The processor is a Katmai Pentium 3, I couldn't tell you what speed grade, but I have a 450Mhz P3 here and it looks absolutely identical.

EDIT:
No, nevermind, just had another look over the P3 and there are a few resistors out of place, and the die might be a slightly different shape (but that could be distortion in the photo)

I change my vote to .25 micron P2

Here i post the numbers that appears on the cartridge:

Processor:
L843A188
21841419BF
2204

Cache(both):
SEC KOREA 843
KM736V604YMT-44

Chip that is on the backside:
S82459AD
L842ID17
SL2WF
INTEL M C '95

Serial number:
PB 713539-001

Also is written in the cartridge COMPEQ 9842

well, i have a pentium 2 400mhz (deschutes) that matches yours pretty close:

the chip on the back of mine has a different sspec than yours does, but the PB number matches it exactly. also, the sspec on the back of yours is from a pentium 2. so I'd say its definately a pentium 2, deschutes core.

as for what speed, whos to say. The multiplier would be locked anyhow, so just drop it in a slot 1 board, make sure the FSB is set to 100mhz, and start it up. it could be a 66mhz fsb part, but since its core is exposed id bet its a newer deschutes so its probably 100mhz fsb. it'll probably post at 400 or 450mhz.

Well i've tried to use it on a p2 motherboard that support those speeds (up to 450Mhz), but the machine don't go (making a horrible beeping). I think that is damaged (also i've tried to use it at lower speeds, but continues doing that beeping)

[skold]

what kind of beeping? one long, two short? continuous long beeps?

even if it was a p3, it should still work on most p2 boards, i think

[bacterio]

continous short beeps. with other p2's (a 333(66mhz fsb)and 350(100mhz fsb)) the beeper doesn't make any noise and goes well .

[skold]

not sure then.. could be a dead chip, but im sure its a deschutes p2

Thank you much for the information, but the cpu is then dead
