Hi all, this one has me puzzled because it seems like it doesn't fit neatly into an existing category:
It had an AMD Duron chip in it.
It has a 'SOCKET462' which the Internet says is also known as a 'Socket A', but that came before the AMD AM socket was released.
A quarter barely fits inside the perfectly square hole.
Pics are attached; thank you in advance!

You got 2 gold tab BGA chips. The older the motherboard. The higher quanity/quality of gold manufactuers used. Thats brought out in https://youtu.be/4cvuKakb558?si=VAHwKM2m5nULF84y. You deserve the higher rate on that motherboard.

Thanks to you for your helpful replies! I am going to send it as the category you mentioned. I am not attempting reselling of boards at this time.

Interesting. Similar situation. This motherboard does not have AM on socket. This board's socket has SOCKET 754 on it. I did a bit of searching on internet. Not satisfied with results. Oh. This board will go to scrap. The Bios chip has 1998 on it. Just looking for comments. Austin86. You seem to be able to input a lttle history. And. Also. Yes. What category?

Might also check the pins to see how much plating is there catwhisker. If it looks like there's a decent amount on all of them then between the pins, number of ICs and the gold tab bga it might break out of the normal AMD grade.

I tried looking a bit through the forum but didn't see any similar socket (to be fair I didn't look that hard)
