I often see advice when troubleshooting to make sure one is using simms or dimms that are gold plated. I understand the difference in conductivity but would have thought the difference to be small given the thickness of the plating. Is this “advice” given as a way to steer someone in the general direction of higher quality components, or is there a quantitative, objective difference that causes silver plated memory to be non-functional in certain applications?
