Should I save or throw away my old Motherboard?

[jm]

It is an older pentium mobo. It is useless. Not even ebay will do
good for me. Should I just throw it away or save it for parts? I
don't know what parts on it I should get. Thanks for opinions.

If you're a hobbyist and like used parts with short leads, you can
strip it with a torch and a puller of some kind - wear safety goggles
and a breath mask. Take the processor, get the chip out, and make a
brooch for your lady. Be sure and get those .025 square pin headers -
you never know when you'll need one. And connectors are always handy.
Any socketed chips, of course, you just pull. At this age, I'd toss
the battery.

Have Fun!

Please tell me what you mean here, explain a little. Thanks:

It's a geek thing. Solder a copper ring to some pins, fit a chain or keyring

and look cool as shit.

I'm saving my old mobos to show the grand-kids how primitive we were.
