I have watched the video over and over and cannot seem to make my mind up on this one. I believe it is an AMD AM/FM Socket MB but in the video he states that the plastic holder will read either AM or FM and this one does not. As you can see in the image, it has "socket 939".

Curious how you guys would grade this so I know which pile to put it in.

Thanks

Looks like an AMD CPU in the socket so it's an AMD mobo. You'll need to remove that to sell separately. Also remove the battery and four heatsinks.

Thank you. This leads me to a follow-on question. So the CPU is solid pins on the bottom (as in the entire CPU has the gold pins). The image available on the price list shows no pins in the center part of the CPU. So, does that matter? I am guessing the way the CPU is now, once I remove it, it would go as AMD CERAMIC ALUMINUM TOP K6 pricing?

That's probably not a ceramic chip, I could be wrong. Should be Green Fiber with Metal

Based on the current breakdown of mobos in the pricelist I imagine it's still just an AMD board and if you click on the video link the top left board at the start is a socket with no hole.
