Cost a little more for this one than the first one and with no memory.
Where is this guy getting these things from, I wonder.
Well nice, but it is not Dual CPU 😉.

I know that. The second chip is the motherboard logic, but the seller doesn't know that. It's actually kind of brilliant that they socketed it that way. Instead of buying a new motherboard to run the latest CPU you could continue using the same motherboard and just replace the logic chip to support the new CPU on the same board. As long as the pinout of the new CPU doesn't change, you're golden. The Nexgen CPU socket actually has 1 pin more than Socket A (A Socket A AMD chip actually fits, mechanically but most likely not electrically or logically) so there was lots of room to grow new CPU designs from it.
The guy had more than one of them?
I wonder if he has more than two... maybe 10 or so, and he's just slowly selling them off.

Maybe. It would be unusual for anyone to have a bunch of them this late, though. There's only one other person I've ever seen on the internet who has ever had them in any quantity and that's this guy.

Apparently he has (had) 9 of the VL Bus motherboards and 1 PCI. The website looks pretty old so he may no longer have them. I'm sure this isn't him that is selling them because the serial number of the board that I have in my hand doesn't match the ones for the VL-Bus boards he has data for displayed on the website.

Unusual doesn't equal impossible though, I thought the same thing about the Cyrix 5x86-133 which was virtually non-existant when suddenly someone offered 24 NOS(!!!) ones for sale!!
