    Dumb question, How do you distinguish between grades? I have a defective search button or poor ability, I just get no results even on common words.

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    Kind of a guessing game, but it depends on gold pins or fingers, the more the better. Also if the board is packed with IC chips raises the rating. Here's an example of a mid-grade;
    A midgrade board is green on both sides and has some ic chips mounted to it but also have heavy items on it as well, such as heat sinks, transformers, large capacitors and other non-precious components.

    My buyer allows me to mix these in with my regular motherboards, as long as i don't have that much.

    Yeah I was going to say, this has at least 6 different areas with gold pins, and no heavy objects. I was going to say mixed with single socket motherboards, or #3 motherboards if I had a lot of them...

    I mean hell gold is hardly what the refiners here are getting back from the boards. Look for double sided copper traces deep in the board, then go from there.
