Great find - thanks! Sure I know amounts can vary, blah, blah, but this is a good starting point to determine the total value of gold in CPUs. Once you know that and if you know the weight of the CPUs, you can get a good estimate of the amount of gold in a pound of given CPUs. Then we are all better prepared when we're offered an amount for our scrap CPUs. Here is another site I found with similar info.

Between the two we should get somewhere

Thanks!
