This assumes they have the experience to judge the

folks out there who are promoting and selling supplies
for small-scale backyard gold recovery, and the people
who are into this don't necessarily know what they are

How would you even know the gold content in a chip, its not like Intel used
to list it next to voltage and processor speed?
Do these guys have charts for each processor?
