i'd say about 95%(or more) of pins inside a computer are gold plated, higher% than that for socketed CPU pins

You can use the weight's on the chip's but the recovery values shown are way off. If you use these figures you are going to be in a world of hurt and get screwed.

But there are other precious metals in there besides the gold right? That's what I thought... I make stuff up though...

Thanks for the link to the website for e-waste recycling values Mech. It's an old thread but hopefully it will be bumped so beginners and novices like me can better understand the things we get.
