    Grid Pin Arrays encasing the CPU: Gold pins vs. Silver-colored pins

    Some Grid Pin Arrays have gold colored pins
    Some have Silver colored pins.



    Are the gold colored pins (obviously gold plated) more valuable than Grid Pin Arrays with silver colored pins. What is the metal composition of the silver colored pins? Is it Aluminum, silver, or platinum? Some kind of alloy with small amounts of Platinum.

    Grid pin arrays with gold plating are much more aesthetically pleasing than the silver-colored pin arrays, but are they intrinsically more valuable?
