Anyone has this RAM type lying around?

[Quang]

Hey guys,

I have an old Dell that uses an outdated type of RAM (see below). It's mucho expensive to buy these things now because no one makes them anymore and I was wondering if anyone had these lying around in old comps. If so, let me know and I'll be happy to discuss. Thanks!

I just gave a buddy a box full of ram to see what would fit in his computer...
I know for a fact I have two 256mb chips like that..I'm going to see him monday if he did not use them I'll PM you...shoot me a PM just so I don't need to find this post or forget.

RAMBUS ram never really took off. It was originally going to be the standard for Pentium 4's, but the RDRAM manufacturer was having issues making the quantity needed for PC's, so instead DDR ram took over.

How fast is your PC? If it's slower than below

then
I will give you 512 RAM instead of the 256 for the same price.

Alternatively I can just give you the Case/PS, MB, CPU, 512K for $100

I have a single chip you can have. Samsung brand, 256mb 800. I may have another but I have to go dig around.

rambus has to go in in pairs. Single sticks won't work

Thanks for the offer Wingo, but I wanted to upgrade my memory so I can avoid getting a new computer (hassle of installing programs, documents, etc., also more $$$) or at least not anytime soon.

jw thanks for the offer, but like b said, it needs to be in pairs. thanks tho! :hug:

chief, thanks for the offer and digging around.
