The gold CPU is more worth than the board.

It's the Socket 5 board I see the most on eBay, so its not that rare. If it has sentimental value I would keep it, especially if it belongs in a "system". I've not thrown away any of the original parts in my childhood Compaq machine. Just in case I want to set it back to 1997 config 😀

I would hang onto it. Socket5 and 7 will become valuable later just like 386 and 486 boards.

It's a solid board made by intel too.

Socket 7 AT boards (especially the VX and so) are much more plentiful then any Socket 3 board. Eventually they might become more valuable (maybe some models more quickly then others) but so many of those were made. Socket 7 ATX is harder to find though, and so is Socket 5. I think I ever seen 2 Socket 5 boards in the flesh and one never made it into my collection as it wasn't mine. The second one doesn't have any cache iirc.

Anyway, I second to keep the board 😀

I would keep it, just for nostalgia reasons!

However, if you still want to give it away, I'd be glad to take it off your hands 😀.

It's got the NX chip set, much more rare than FX chip set boards. I would call it a keeper.

Thanks for your advice. I guess it makes sense to keep it from a collector's point of view. I am still undecided though since I'm not so keen on keeping stuff I don't use... I'd rather it goes to someone who would repair it and use it in a system.
