Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

Im trying to grade these boards.

Sorry I posted the wrong one twice, the motherboard with the integrated cpu, My question on that really was would it qualify as more than large socket motherboard. Thank you.

First photo: all boards are peripheral.
Second photo is a large socket motherboard. Many of your older boards from the early 90s have small sockets per boardsort standards, but they pay the large socket rate due to the amount of gold used.
Third photo is a peripheral board. I did not see anything indicating that it would fall into small socket motherboard category. This board appeared to have come out of a piece of consumer electronics and not a PC.
The last photo is a duplicate of the second photo.

I know the one is a large socket, but the question I really have is it doesn't get anymore being theres a 486 CPU integrated into the board. That had happened with a number of IBMs where there was a problem with the mounting for the CPU so to fix they integrated into the board, hence the reason the socket is there but has never been
used for a CPU.

I don't believe it will get any more value as a result. Next highest grade for that type of board would be a gold cap board and that is reserved for some types of telecom boards or other PC boards where there's a gold cap CPU chip soldered to the board which can not be removed without the use of desoldering tools.

K, thank you very much. Also I seen on a post talking about removing the normal things from the boards, welk besides heat sinks and batterys is there anything else I should be removing, before I pack up the car and drive up there? It's only an hour for me, but none the less, an hour.,Anything else I should be aware of, I get alot of motherboards, backplanes and perphial boards from DVRs and sat reciever boxes.
