Who can give me a rough estimate about the gold content of 50 386/486 laptops. There are about 50/50 386/486 laptops. I'm planning to recover the gold from the cpu's and the ic chips.
 
Look this is the inside, I know the cpu holds about 0,11g in gold. Or should there be more money in selling the spare parts?

The Intel SX626 486DX2-50 CPU by itself can sell for $9.00 or more
to a collector. The whole laptop may be more far more than that
though if it was intact and operational. 8)

em.

I have a 286 laptop somewhere. I bet it's worth more as a collectors' item.
