Ram and memory sticks

[ritehere]

So does anyone deal with these sticks (the ones with silver colored fingers)? And what is the best process that you have had the best results with in removing this silver?

 

[jimdoc]

Its not silver. But they still sell for the same price as gold fingered sticks.

So is it platnium then?

 

[jimdoc]

Its tin. Search the forum and you will find many discussions about them.

Really, so I guess you could at least use it for stannous chloride then lol

only use metal with known content to make test solution. there could be other metals on the stick that may give you a false positive or a false negative.

 

[wavecrazed]

I think they are tin.

 

[Geo]

yes, the connections are tin but like gold its on a copper underlay. copper resist attack from hcl but hcl will still dissolve some of it. beside you can have cross contamination from these pieces being next to other things. I'm just saying that when it comes to something as important as testing you should use the purest cleanest material available to you.

Why are they selling for the same price? Do they still contain gold?
