Hello everyone!
Its been awhile since my last post, but i cant stop thinking about collecting IC's and stuff, so here is my latest aquisition. To my opinion there are few very interesting examples, including first gen c-cube video processor and early 60MHz intel pentium and some others, check it out. File is really big, so i posted it on our FB. (Let me know if its improper and whats the best way, its been a while, need to get to use it again) Thanks Comrades!

Can some one tell my why this one is so expensive online... trying to justify price.

Also some help with other two - what are they and how rare are they?
(sadly one got busted when i was trying to prey heatsink off)

Broke one is IBM POWER4

MCM6665 is DRAM

STK12C68 is 8Kx8 AutoStore nvSRAM by SImtek (and mil-spec)

I think the "DIAMOND" marking on the POWER4 is cool. The chip with the heat-spreader still on is the Power4 chip. The other chip is the external Level 3 cache chip.

rare?
collectors value?
i found stk for like $1000 - which i think is kind of overkill to my opinion.
IBM chips are just purchased, the other two are not mine and i was offered to buy, but pricing got me knocked.
Thanks for the info

Split this from the new finds topic, as that is really for posting new found chips that have not been seen on the forum before Smile

It's a Power5, not a Power 4.
