Wanted: RDRAM

[Ummon]

Does anyone have any PC800 RDRAM they're not using and willing to let go for a decent price? Asking for 256mb sticks and up. Thanks.

I just wnat to throw this in. Knowing how expensive this suckerz are, I can offer you 4 sticks (128 ea)= 512. Just incase you have any other use for it.

Good luck on 256+. Get the wallet ready for it

Just curious, can you only use (2) sticks of 128 for 256 total or because it's RD Ram, must you use/occupy all 4 slots?  I have an older computer and haven't upgraded the Ram because of the cost.  Thanks.

You can do two, but they have to be matched, and you have to have the dummy cards in the other two slots.

Thanks.  I knew you had to do something with those other unused slots.  What a pain.  Do they still make this type of Ram for PC's?

Yeah, I know. I have 4 sticks of 128 that I got off ebay for a pretty good price, actually. And while it's pretty decent for the 1.5ghz P4 I have, I wanted to see if I could boost it.

They have to be matched, but I'm not sure if you need the place cards. How much you have will depend what OS you can use. Initially, I got a couple 64mb sticks, and for XP it dragged. Especially for SP2, I'd say minimum 512mb. Win98 would do just fine with 128, maybe even just 64.

I'll offer my 4 (128) = 512MB RDRAM along with the Intel D850GB Motherboard w/1.9Ghz CPU for $175 or B/O plus s/h.
I have the MOBO book, CD's etc....

for the ?? above, yes you need the BLANK DUMMY on your empty RAM Slots. I still have them too (all 4).

for the price of the memory you might as well get a barebones kit like this

[Thenasty]

I know you can get barebone kits for less than 200, but if you are looking for some RDRAM, I basically throw in the CPU and MOBO for free.
Right now, I think a 128MB RDRAM are $50.00 ea.

Cheapest I found (quick google) and this are 600/700 mine are 800.

some others are asking 60+.

Are there any places where you can just buy the blank dummies to fill up the slots?  And can you run (2) 128 sticks and (2) 256 sticks or must they all be the same size ram chips?  Thanks.

above link. THey sell it for 5.00 eac I think.....But if your gonna take my offer, I have 4 of them.

they go in PAIRS, so (128/128 and 256/256) or (256/256 256/256) or (128/128  128/128)

must be in PAIRS and must be the same. And if the other slots are empty, must use the DUMMY ones.

Hmhmhm. I can buy used but complete P4s at a local surplus for much less. I was just seeing if someone around had some they weren't intent on getting an ebay-level amount out of.
