I noticed you have an old machine from the late '90s to early 2000s, likely with some upgrades. It looks like it might be from the 1999–2003 era, possibly with a Socket 462 motherboard. I can try to help identify the CPU and assess its historical worth. You also mentioned having some RAM and a graphics card, which adds to the potential value. Let’s figure out what you have and its possible market appeal.
It's tough to pinpoint exactly what it is without deeper analysis. It probably belongs to an Athlon or Thunderbird type processor. The clock speed should likely sit between 1 and 1.5 GHz. Its performance per instruction (IPC) would be roughly four times slower compared to Raptor Lake. A contemporary CPU core would be about 50 times more efficient, and a top-tier model with around 16 cores could deliver 500 to 1000 times greater power in multi-threaded tasks. You wouldn't expect it to run Crysis at all, let alone play it well. It won't support 64-bit operating systems or modern software, and exceeding roughly 3GB of RAM would be problematic. It might still have AGP compatibility, but PCIe support is absent. Graphics options like the ATi 9700 Pro could work, though not a newer Nvidia 8800 GT. A Radeon 9200 probably wouldn't launch Crysis. This seems to be a DX8 graphics card paired with a DX9 game—possibly it could start, but performance would be extremely sluggish on a much more powerful card. Six years ago, I purchased a Raspberry Pi for $35, and it was significantly faster. From a practical standpoint... it's outdated and underperforms compared to today’s standards.
It could be an Athlon XP 1800+ model, possibly competing with Intel's Pentium 4 at that time. It might appeal to retro PC enthusiasts, though the specific use case remains unclear. It won't turn you into a millionaire, but it will definitely add value to your collection.
This item is an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (Palomino) model. It has been sold for around $12 on eBay.
Confirms it's an Athlon XP 1800+ (details available at the provided link). Earlier builds featured this chip, though not the original IBM 80286. Estimated worth is around $10 to $20 depending on condition. Functioning properly.
