I read a few post and some links and compared them to my local drop off and the prices on 486 and pentium pro are not accurate.

Sorry if I seem to speak for the group, I speak only for the good of others.

As in there numbers are higher or lower than our numbers?
One thing to take into account if there numbers are lower...don't trust the guy who has the money and the item in his pocket..they can change it to what ever they need or want...if you are getting your cpu's refined then get a 3ed party to make sure the gold amount is true....don't want someone to...change the numbers on you.

I just wrote about this on this thread

Short answer is NO, a resounding NO, with no other possibilities, a hardcore, NO...
Even if you did have this magical list of yields, you still are only going to be paid what a refiner can pay you, keep his business floating, and make a small profit. A refiner is not going to pay you what the yields are. They are only going to pay you as much as they are able to, to stay in business and make a living.
Its better to ask a refiner what they are able to pay, instead of trying to squeeze every penny of value from your material.
Also, I don't think many people think about this. Gold prices fluctuate. There is no way anyone can pay you close to the yields simply because the gold market could fluctuate, and the day after buying the material you are loosing money. There has to be a buffer included beyond the considerations of consumables to process, equipment costs, electrical, time, effort, energy and an entire host of other expenses.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
