Gold or Gold Plated CPU's?

[Lionhead]

I wanted to know which cpu's are made out of solid gold or if all of them are gold plated? Especially 486 cpu's and pentium 1 cpu's. Also how many 486 or p1 cpu's are needed to produce an oz of gold using the aqua regia process? I would greatly appreciate any information regaurding these topics.

there all plated Au none of them are solid Au . as far as your next question im not quite sure . I believe Steve or some of the other guys that do the cpu's would be more informative.

i just did a search on these and they roughly produce about .1 - .5 grams each dependeing on the style and how old they are . so to answer your question you'll need roughly around between 65 to 100 cpu's to make one ounce
