If my math is correct (you may want to double check as I only gave the numbers a cursory glance)

According to http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/289/pentium-pro each Pentium Pro chip has one gram of gold in it.

One ounce = 28.35grams
One ounce of gold trades for approx. $1700.00
Thus, one gram of gold is worth about $60.00

Given that it would take 12-16 of these chips to equal one pound, which sells at $175/lb for many ewaste buyers

If all calculations are correct, you would be trading around $720-$960 of unrefined gold for $175.00




--I have no idea if this is a good deal, as I have never refined gold. I’m simply posting some numbers.
