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.

tin was common in older ram
So im guessing they payless?
most buyers here let you throw in with gold plated ram
Yeah I'll have to ask the buyer I'm going to sell to. It don't stick to a magnet.

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

Bear, send me some gold bolts and silver nuts, I'll let you know next year if they do!
via postcard I presume?Quote:

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