I was unfortunate enough to buy a few computers with slot processors. Once cleaned they look just like large memory chips with a decent amount of gold. Does anyone know why the price on slot processors is so much lower than gold finger memory or even green fiber processors?
Maybe I can spread a little light on this. For one your right they do look like a large memory stick. Since they are larger the gold plating to total weight of them is less then a memory stick. Also they do not have as many IC chips as a memory stick. Therefore the precious metal content of them per pound is not as much as a memory stick. Thats how you get the lower price for them. Hope that helps.
I am not 100% on this but I am pretty sure the IC chips on the RAM are what make the difference. RAM also weighs less.
haha! you coulda done worse, such as scrapping a buncha P4s, at least those slot motherboards go as higher grade, think it over ; )Quote:
