I was wondering what would be the best place i can go to find this type of RAM for this computer it is an old ass computer but I am trying to get atleast 1 GB more RAM to get this up and running Will be installing a New OS Windows XP ---.. on this machine later today so wondering what would be the best place for a ram this kind Thanks -Zain
No problem, and its a branded RD RAM so it would be best to check out the biggest samsung centre for this kind of a RAM. Also I don't have any kind of idea what it is in the States, so can't tell you any particular shop for some reason.. LOL! Good luck bro and please have a look at the Samsung centres
don't bother, RAMBUS RAM costs too much. you can get a new CPU board and RAM for about the same price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820151102 see, $100 a stick, and you need two.(damned RIMMs) hasn't been manufactured in years. cost a ton in the early 2000s when it was released. hasn't gotten much cheaper either. cheaper/faster/lower latency/lower heat output & electric consumption http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820236115 cheap board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...82E168131380383 cheap CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819104305 also, don't worry about the CPu "being fewer Mhz" it does nearly twice as much work per Mhz. if you wanted to spend somewhat more... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813153057 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116037 but yeah. Basically rambus and i850 were slated for obsoletion in the beginning of 2001 ============= EDITL other thing to consider, try to find this RAM used somewhere. people often throw out their old systems, chances are you could potentially find the RAM and buy 512mb(2*256mb) of it for around $20-30 if you look around. pretty much any Rambus RAM(PC800) would work FYI.
Thx Xe link Damn... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/sys/360197303.html That dude is far from my house...2 hr drive or i would buy the 256 sticks right now from him! damn Thanks though -Zain
two things wrong with that. 1 look at the price. DDR2 RAM (which offers over doubt the bandwidth at much reduced latency) is literally 1/10th the price 2 Rambus needs to be paired(dual channel) to operate under intel based chipsets. it's 16 bit memory and the memory controller only operates @32bits length.
