I'm eyeing the AMD Ceramic No Metal and Pentium/Mac Ceramic myself. Same form factor, but lacking the gold plates characteristic of the 386/486 Gold Cap

I went back through several posts and based on two different things Lostinlodos has said, could be either AMD or pentium, ceramic classes.

I'm not familiar enough with individual chips to hazard a guess to which is more accurate, would email Chris the images or a link to this post or, if you're ready to ship, quote for the lower value and make sure you keep the chip separated out so it can be verified on arrival.

They're paying the same at present so it's likely a wash
