Did some searching on here, but did not find this topic specifically covered and hoped some of the buyers on here could answer it.

I know on processors/CPUs, there is generally a higher gold content in certain grades of chips, ie: 386 vs. pentium III, ect.



My question is, does this hold true to the mother boards as well. Do older 286/386 chipset boards yield higher returns than current boards? If so, does it pay to separate boards by chipset? Do buyers generally pay more if a shipment is all of a certain grade?
