						 Food for thought.  I have been scrapping for 5 years regularly.  I think I sold a jar of chips from my years prior to that.  My chips bin which include the random bgas/flatpacks that are stuck to heat sinks and socket mounted EPROMs/IC. Just weighed the bin I have right at 2 pounds of chips.  Yeah they are all easy to get and seem like a no brainer to pluck. But it’s almost insignificant.  
  If you got a scale that is pretty good weigh it with and without chips.  With chips maybe big maybe telecom low 95% peripheral high. Without chips it might go peripheral low.  Do the cost comparison it’s probably better to leave chips and take the upgrade than risk the downgrade.
