"I'm selling a very rare Intel Pentium Pro 133 with 256k L2 cache. These models were never available to the public, they were produced for military purposes."
What information do you have about the Pentium Pro 133 being used for military purposes? |

|
|
Hi,
according to Byte magazine, February 1996, and to Microprocessor Report, November 1995, Intel planned to introduce a Pentium Pro version running at 133 MHz with 256 KB of cache in February 1995, but this plan has been dropped because of poor price/performance ratio. 133 MHz PPros are available only as engineering samples. This is the "official" story. Military use of these CPUs would be an interesting new for me  , I'm interested in all the aspects of Intel processors history... do You have some documentation about? |

I also do not agree that the 133MHz version was military, as Intel used different part numbers for military chips.
Also, $140 might be the price for the last example sold in the open forum, but I bought one from a member here for €55 recently (ie half the price you found from 2 years ago...)

the most important aspect for military is reliability. so ES should not be used in military equipment.

| Hum ok, then it's probably not a military version, but an ES. |

| Ah, note that my auctions have a shipping price for "Priority mail", but I can also send them as "Economy" which divides the price in half roughly. |

I mean that I sold Pro133 for 55 EUR include shipping cost. Price on stamps from your parcell say something different ... I will not discuss about that what you are charging because it is your politic but remember when you charging more then you have less of eBuyers.
