Somebody stuck a Cyrix 5x86 heatsink on a socket7 chip. This is not a socket3 486 board.

Flood him with messages informing him of his error.

You'd have to be really dumb or ignorant to buy it IMO.
He clearly states it's a socket 7 board with a Pentium 100.

He must have caught the error. It originally said Cyrix 5x86 100 (not Pentium 100).

Soo....it's safe to buy now 😁

With due respect given, it's listed as a Socket 7 board with a Pentium chip and the high res photos clearly reveal the socket 7 label. This thing shouldn't even appear in a search for 5x86 or 486.

See my comment above. The seller fixed his error right after I caught it.

Sorry mate; I didn't see your remark about listing being corrected. With that in mind, the board still looks like something I would enjoy building a retro rig around.
