We have hundreds of member reported yield data, in a Facebook group. I'll send you the link in private message.

This is an imposible question to answer - WAY to many variables
125 pounds of computer memory rams 60% , Laptops rams 40%
Are you talking about processing just the fingers - the finger & the chips - or the "whole" RAM ---- & ever if it is the whole ram the yield can/will very by a lot depending on if some of the RAM is the very old "thick" epoxy chips ram - or the (not very old) but older thin chip RAM - or the newer BGA chip RAM & as well the very old RAM will likely have Pd in the MLCCs where as new RAM will have little or no Pd in the MLCCs --- so there is no way to tell because it will depend entirely on how much of each type RAM is in the 125 pounds "mix" of RAM

Also - some RAM has chips on one side & other RAM has chips on both sides - so ????
28 pounds of hard drive boards
Same thing here - very old HD boards have more gold/silver/Pd whereas newer boards have less gold & silver with little or no Pd so yield will depend entirely on how many of what age boards are in the 28 pounds
18 pounds of cell phones boards
same thing here - depends entirely on how much of what age boards are in the mix - older stuff tends to yield more then newer stuff

2 pounds of cpu mixed
Same thing here
26 pounds of laptops and computers boards
Same thing here

Also - yield will depend a great deal on if you intend to cherry pick just some parts of the boards to process or intend to process the whole boards & as well how you intend to go about processing the boards

ALL of these things can/will make a BIG difference on what you can expect to get from your 200 pounds of boards
