He will not come out OK.
1 kilogram of mixed RAM is anything from 40 to 100 pieces /they weight from 10 to 25gram each/
So we talk about 40 to 100g of close cut fingers. He may pull out 0.1 to 0.4g from fingers.
If he process chips too - even with crude method as we seen on youtube with guy grinding them with mortar and pestle and panning - he got 3g of not refined gold colored powder of questionable karat or composition from 800 chips - we can consider it as urban legend as nobody from here did the same experiment, but hey lets believe this for this moment.../ In his 40-100 pieces he may have 8-16 chips on each so it is from 320-640 or 800-1600. Let take average so we talk 480 to 1200 chips so he may actually get more gold out of chips than from fingers - it depend what type of RAM is he processing and if it all was really gold - on that youtube video. 1.5 to 4g
My conclusion is he is going to lose money on this one as return will not cover purchase, use of acids and in case of processing chips again work - you have to get them crushed, gas for incineration and chemicals for refining.
He will not lose a lot and certainly it will be gain if he will look at it as a learning as you go. It may be nice investment to find out what his ability is and at the end of the day he will know how much he can pay as it all depend on how much is he able to recover. Now he need to take few weeks off and spend them studying.

If all he is after is some gold and a learning experience on how to recover & refine it from the RAM, he should be okay. I don't see a great deal of cost on his part. Like I said, he isn't going to see a great profit, and like you said, it does matter what kind of RAM he is working with. He may not get enough gold to even see. If he is planning on buying this RAM and making enough profit from it to take the week off of work, that would be a bad decision on his part. Someone has started a rumor that there is a gold mine in every old computer and with the price of gold ever rising, people are eager to believe that and want their piece of the pie. I think that would partially explain the value of E-Bay gold.
