I have a working Asus P/I-P65UP5 board with the accompanying card for two Slot 1 processors (including the processors). I'm considering selling the board but these seem to be extremely rare and expensive. Would a dual slot 1 card be rarer than a Socket 8 variant? So far I've only seen three with Socket 8 but none with Slot 1.
You will know instantly its rarity if you get people asking to buy it. ^.^
Of the three cpu cards, the socket 8 is a good 75% of the total volume of cards. The socket 7 card is maybe 20% and the Slot 1 is 5% at most. I own one, I've seen only one other for sale, ever.
That said, the number of people who have the motherboard and WANT such a card is really low. the Pentium pro is the real point of this motherboard. Is it rare? yes. Is it valuable? kinda. Will it make a house/car payment? NO. Will it pay to have a nice night out? Probably yes.
The ultimate test is to put it on ebay with worldwide shipping and start it at $10 (or whatever your local currency is) make it auction only for 10-days. The real value will become evident.
