Broke down a computer and the 4 sticks of RAM dont have gold fingers. Do you think they are platnium or silver. They dont have that brillant shine that silver usually does but it may just be tarnished.

But wouldnt a tin rammed chip be worth more if it was platinum and not tin?

Yea, and tin plated SIMMs had corrosion issues in gold plated SIMM slots (30 pin SIMMs anyway).

Apposing metals will always corrode, look at steel bolts in an alum water pump.

soooo, would silver and gold corrode ?
annnnd, I've got a pile of old carburetors out there which are mostly aluminum, and have not exactly been kept to museum standards, but (and I WILL have to verify this tomorrow) the metal bolts/screws in them haven't deteriorated so badly. Do you reckon the moisture and condensation(cold-hot-cold) from a water pump could have some effect?

I kind of doubt it as their both excellent conductors, but it has something to do with galvanic corrosion.
