I came across a couple of these at a university. Other than the main processor there are two more smaller Sun processors as well on the left hand side. I did some searching and could not find any info about them. Are the two smaller ones worth keeping?

| these aren't processors, one chip is possibly bus controller the other cache controller. I'm always keeping entire module though |

| Only the chip on the far right will be a processor. Probably one of the ultrasparc's in a soldered ball grid array package. Around 200mhz. The rest of the chips are worthless. |

Keep it on the board if you have the space to store it. Its always nice to see the chip in its "original enviroment" so to say. _________________ My collection: http://www.cpucollection.se :::::: http://www.chipdb.org Photos of chips you never knew existed. Now over 6000 different chips in the database. |

With the processor and the bus controllers being gold its actually a nice looking setup. I'll keep it all together.
The heatsinks that I took off would be perfect for GPU memory heatsinks. |

| Based on the earlier reponses in this thread I didnt think they were worth anything so I didnt get very many. I can get 10+ of these for pretty cheap. |

If you get one on a working board, I'd be very interested in it... _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
