CPU with Gold Content

Gold CPU Recycling Yields And Values.

These CPU’s can be found in dumped computers on the side of the road, at the local tip and are often given away for free at garage sales. The CPU’s can be divided into three classes:


VERY HIGH YEILD CPU’S – Have quarter of a gram or more per piece.
HIGH YEILD CPU’S – Have from 1/20th of a gram up to quarter of a gram
LOW YEILD CPU’S – Have under 1/20th of a gram


VERY HIGH YEILD CPU’S:
NEC (server chip) – 0.27g – $12.50 per CPU
Toshiba (server chip) – 0.27g – $12.50 per CPU
AMD K5 – 0.50g – $23.15 per CPU
Pentium Pro (the holy grail of yields) 1.0g – $46.30 per CPU ($56.50 at  $1760 per ounce)
Cyrix 586 – 0.25g – $11.58 per CPU
IBM 686 PR200 – 0.25g – $11.58 per CPU
Original Intel Pentium 60Mhz – 90Mhz 0.48g – $22.22 per CPU
HIGH YEILD CPU’S
Cyrix 486 – 0.11g – $5.09 per CPU
IBM 586 – 0.1g – $4.63 per CPU
Texas Instruments 486 – 0.1g – $4.63 per CPU
Intel 486SX – 0.1g – $4.63 per CPU
i486 TX 486DLC – 0.12g – $5.55 per CPU
AMD (early green) – 0.11g – $5.09 per CPU
Cyrix 686 – 0.21g – $9.72 per CPU
Cyrix MII – 0.18g – $8.33 per CPU
Winchip – 0.17g – $7.87 per CPU
Intel 486 DX4  – 0.19g – $8.80 per CPU
Intel 486 + DX2 – 0.20g – $9.26 per CPU
Intel I960 – 0.16g – $7.40 per CPU
AMD 486 – 0.12g – $5.55 per CPU
AMD (brown) – 0.08g $3.70 per CPU
AMD K6 – 0.11g – $5.09 per CPU
Intel Pentium & MMX (ceramic) 0.12g – $5.55 per CPU
Intel Pentium MMX (ceramic) 0.12g – $5.55 per CPU
LOW YEILD CPU’S
Intel Pentium 1 MMX black fibre
Celeron – black fibre
Celeron – green fibre
Celeron – slot one
Pentium 2 – slot one
Pentium 3 – slot one
Pentium 3 – all types
Pentium 4 – all types
Intel Core – all types
Intel Core 2 Duo – all types
Intel i3, i5, i7 – all types
WARNING: Recycling can be very dangerous if you are not experienced. The chemicals used to extract the gold can be fatal if misused or inhaled.

Microsoft Windows 8 Released Date on "October".

Windows, being one of the most used OS, brings great challenges for Microsoft to keep its users impressed in the next version of Windows.
Although Windows 7 has done exceptionally well since its release, Microsoft has been constantly working to make the next version of Windows a better one by further improving upon the existing features, and have added new impressive Windows 8 features along with a stunning UI.

Microsoft released the early version of Windows 8 on a prototype tablet last week. Those of you who would like to taste and experience the all new Windows 8, you can download the Developer Preview, which is currently in pre-beta version. The developer version shows off the current stage of the OS. It is available for free download, and comes in three different packages:
  • (1) 64-bit version – Only the OS
  • (2) 32-bit version – Only the OS
  • (3) 64-bit version with developer tools

Windows 8 Features

Windows 8 offers a number of new Windows 8 features from its all new UI to Windows App Store and improvised security features. Here’s a list of new features and improvements which will arrive with Windows 8:

Support for both x86 PCs and ARM tablets

Windows 8 is the first edition of Windows which will work on both ARM based tablets and traditional x86 (as well as x32 and x64) PCs based on ARM processors from Intel and AMD.
“Support for ARM-based chipsets, touch, and sensors makes Windows 8 work beautifully on your choice of a full spectrum of devices, such as 10-inch slates with all-day battery life, ultra-lightweight laptops, and powerful all-in-ones with 27-inch high-definition screens,” Microsoft contends, in a Windows 8 Guide distributed with Windows Developer Preview

Windows To Go

The “Windows To Go” seems to be an exciting feature that basically allows Windows 8 to boot from a USB device (called as Live USB), including user’s programs, settings and files. The feature is designed to work with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, and on both legacy NIOS and UDFI firmware. However, Microsoft says that a user will not be able to “Hibernate” with this feature.
Windows 8“Windows To Go is a new feature in Windows 8 that enables enterprise administrators to create USB drives containing complete, managed Windows images that users can use to boot and run Windows on any Windows 7 or Windows 8 capable computer. Windows To Go makes it possible for employees to use a managed device whether they work from home, a client office or in a free seating environment. This session will discuss Windows To Go, its hardware requirements and building compatible and complementary software.”
Another interesting thing about this feature is that, if the USB drive is removed, Windows will automatically freeze, but will continue to operate if the USB drive is inserted back in the next 60 seconds after removal.

Windows Store

To compete with Apple, Windows has confirmed the introduction of a Windows Store, similar to Mac App Store, which allows users to browse through Windows applications, while developers can publish their Metro-style apps on Windows 8 devices.

 

"Windows 8 Minimum System Requirements"

It is reported that Windows 8 is expected to have the same system requirements as Windows 7, and will run on existing machines that run Windows 7. Here are the following minimum system requirements to run Windows 8:
Processor: 1GHz or faster 32-bit or 64-bit processor
RAM: 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit)
HD Space: 16GB for 32-bit (or 20GB for 64-bit)
