I sold one just like it a couple of weeks ago for $15.00. 8)

Don't take off the "radiator" (heat sink) on this one. Doing that
would make the chip scrap.
 
This CPU is not rare. It is retail package 486 DX4-100. At some point of time Intel tired of exchanging burned CPUs under warranty and flooded OEM market with this kind sometimes in 1994-95. There is huge aluminum heatsink, which could work without fan. Fans were crappy back than and broke a lot causing CPU to overheat and burn. Intel had to replace the whole CPU under warranty.

I would not know now how much heatsink is weight, but the 486 DX4 weights exactly the same as 486 DX2.
