    How can I find out market value of computer parts and where can I sell it?

    Hello, I have a computer that I purchased in 2003 and it's now decommissioned. I'm looking into selling it for parts. Is there any online source where I can enter chip info and get the market value so that I know how much to sell it for? And also, where would be a good place to sell it? Thank you.

    Why does my browser keep loading my old website

    Thanks kalju, but I resolved the issue. I set my IP settings to point to google's DNS with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and now my browsers are consistently going to the new website. But I'll answer your question anyway. I'm running Windows 10 on a Mac computer and I'm hosting my website with AWS.
