Gold is a very good conductor of electricity and it does not oxidize or corrode (at least not very easily). In computers, it is often used in electrical contacts plated as a very thin layer on the pins and sockets, sometimes as a solder alloy (Au-Sn), sometimes (in old technology) used as very tiny wires inside the chip package connecting the actual Si chip to the pins that connect to the rest of the computer. Unfortunately, there is not much gold in an old computer and what is there is difficult to separate from all the other metals that are used. It is very interesting to tear things apart to see what they look like.
