What is the best way to process ram? I looked using LS's search engine but couldn't find it. Thanks, Kobe

Are you referring to the fingers, IC's, or the caps?

The entire piece of ram... just like you get it out of the computer.

You can remove your fingers first and process them in AP.
You can remove the chips, incinerate them, ball mill them and then choose your process. HCL soak, HCL/peroxide, nitric or melt with flox and process.
The remainder of the ram card you can remove the little bit of flakes if you want to.

Or you can sell it on E-Bay. Some lots of gold edge ram are selling for up to $10.00 per pound!

Do RAM chips generally have any gold inside them? I assumed not...I figured they would use aluminum bonding wires.

Read up on ram this morning and the chips contain other precious metals of high value. It's the fingers you need for the gold, but any nickel/ zinc on the fingers will cause the gold to drop out of solution if put through Aqua Regia

There are 3-4 good threads on this. Gustavas has one if I remember right. And I think Irons had one. I think they gave some idea on yields too.
