does this one gold cap ceramic chip make the board qualify as gold cap chipboard or is it something else. thanks

Is it gold or is it just the exposed silicon?

i havnt dealt with silicon but i have almost decided it isnt gold. it slightly changes color/hue at different angles and light shades. i dont think gold would do that would it?

Silicon wafer or silicon wafer chip probably would have been a more correct description.

Since you're saying it changes color I'm guessing it is silicon which makes your board a small multi socket server board
