    OLD laptop motherboard, with embedded i486 chip?

    I got this motherboard today as I was breaking down some old laptops. This one I think was out of a 1994?? or 1991?? laptop. I know the i486 processors have some pretty good gold content, but I have never seen them embedded into the motherboard and not in a socket like this. Im assuming I gotta get the chisel out and get it off the board? There is also a bunch of other, similar size looking chips embedded on this board, are those anything good?

    Thanks!!
