maybe the person here needs it: Learning the hard way isn't fun. Big mistake I purchased x2

There's one liste online for $150:

^ this belongs to the "ridiculous auctions" 🤣 🤣 🤣
the M919 is a low-tier pc-chips mobo with or without the module 😁

🤣 ok so i could only use it for that one particular pc chips board and not on any other 486 board?

I have a PC Chips M919 v3.4 that takes that module, currently running without cache. I had resigned myself to run without cache since the only one I found online was that eBay auction for $150. Let me know if you decide to sell it.

I posted about it a while ago: Bought a 486 motherboard

It's really not that bad of a board. I've been running mine stable with a nice 120mhz cyrix 5x86 for awhile now. I don't think buying/selling is allowed on the forums so keep that in mind but I'd say a reasonable non ebay price for these would be between $30 and $50. I paid $40 for mine about 2 years ago.

mine says M919-01S3 and not M919-02S5 like in the ebay auction. no idea if that makes a difference.
as i don't have any use for it and you have, I'd sell it to you if you wish.

What would be a fair price? I don't want to rip you off but I also don't want to give it away as a gift 😀
Maybe you have something I need?

If you guys do decide to trade or sell the Cache module I would advise you do it through PM. Buying and selling is not allowed on the forum.

Probably because of the different RAM ICs. Yours looks like it has Samsung chips, and the eBay one says "Alliance" but that logo looks like Mitsubishi.

I paid $50 for a M919 with the cache, RAM and a AMD 5x86 133 about the same time he started listing that one. I would never pay that price. I'd sooner try to find one in a scrap gold lot.

its like bitcoin, in some years i will buy a car with them.

🤣. so many differences here. right now, bitcoin has the illusion of being one-of-a-kind to a lot of people who don't really understand crypto (and those are the majority of the people driving up the price). but in reality, if someone wants crypto for a practical purpose, there are many others to choose from, and also easy enough for someone to create their own.

the cache module is a nice-have for these pcchips boards, but that's all. after a certain price point, it's more prudent to just do without it, or even buy a different 486 board.

PC CHIPS is crap anyway, this won't ever gain value in the future.

I agree there's no way a pcchips board will go up in value. I keep it because it works and I don't feel like fumbling around trying to find a better board without problems. Also, it's got pci slots so I can use my adaptec 2940uw 😁

A german seller sold a few for €19.90 a piece, so I highly doubt that they will some day be a treasury item.
The board itself, albeit mechanically inferior, seems to be more than pretty good though.
