Hi everyone. I have a question about ths board. Is it a board out of a sun server. Is it a large multi socket mb? The chips are soldered in, don't plan on taking out. Would this affect the price? Closeup pic of chip included. Thanks again for the help.

I'm going to guess on this but two ceramic sparc CPUs and the size of the board; I'd say dual large socket. Given that the CPUs are part of the deal.

Sun sparc CPUs that are BGA and LGA are a recycling fluke. Soldered on the board they're worth as much as any non gold ceramic CPU. Remove a soldered one your at pinless, unfortunately much lower than the real value.

Removable sparc LGA CPUs go in green fibre with metal up to the sparc II and sparc 64 lines.
LGA sparc III CPUs go as pinless. The gold layer under the metal spreader was removed lowering the value. Materially the sparc III is physically identical to an IBM or Motorola RISC 64-b CPU. Also pinless class.
