So I was cleaning, mainly to just toss things away, when I came across an old computer I used to use. Inside of it was an old Tyan motherboard with two CPU sockets: a slot 1 and a socket 370. This is not a dual CPU array, but a motherboard that can take one or the other. I thought it was neat at the time.

I recall that I used to have 768MB of PC133/100 (don't remember which, honestly) RAM, three sticks of 256MB each. The processor, from what I remember, is a socket 370 1Ghz Pentium III. I am not 100% of this, but I am pretty certain it was.

The computer had no internal video or audio ports, meaning I had to use an expansion card: AGP for video (I think it was 4X...not too sure) and a PCI card. It also had an old ISA card slot, the 16-bit EISA type.

I thought about just tossing it, but perhaps I should ask to see how much it's actually worth, if anything. I seriously doubt it's worth anything, and I believe it would be cheaper to simply toss it than to sell it. But who knows.

It currently has a socket 370 Pentium III processor. I do not know if this is 1Ghz, though it might be. Could be 933Mhz also. Don't remember. On top of it, it has an old heatsink and fan assembly.

It still should work.

Is it worth selling? I can't sell locally as everyone around here simply wants a complete system. If I sell via snail mail, it will automatically be a Flat Rate Priority Mail box, since it's a full ATX motherboard. (and because it's over one pound, I think).

Suggestions would be great. :)
