Hey guys, I was looking for ddr ram the other day and was suprised at how much more expensive it is for it. I could get 2 gigs of DDR2 for the price of 1 gig DDR!!! I was all about upgrading my ram, but I decided I don't want to spend $50 towards an obsolete socket.

So....

I was wondering, do any of you have any spare ddr just laying around that you have been meaning to get rid of? I know most of you have a backup computer, so don't feel I'm asking for parts out of them.

And also, if this isn't allowed, just delete it please, mods.

And if you guys feel like calling me cheap and other names, go right ahead!

Thanks

I have 2 gigs of MUSHKIN XP DDR-4000 4-4-4-10 T1 and a 7800GTX going if you interested. The DDR I have is high end stuff with very tight timmings.

PM me

PM sent

Any one else have anything?

BUMP

I've been looking for cheap DDR too, and while searching have been very surprised to find that slower PC2100 DDR often sells for all practical purposes at the same price as PC3200 DDR...at least for 512MB or 1GB sticks.

Really disappointing, to say the least.



edit to add-oh yeah...I also looked at 'refurbished' RAM sources and even they were incredible...often the price for a used stick was higher than an easily found retail price for the same stick, and the shipping price was often higher, too.

Not a very good incentive for people to improve their older computers and thus contribute less to landfills.

So I guess everyone moved to DDR2 and threw away their ddr?

i cant get rid of mine until i move to a new machine, the final upgrade for my machine is the X1950 Pro Sapphire 512

That's ok, like I said above, I don't expect people to rip down working machines

Nope, built a second machine [HTPC] with my A64 & DDR

It is quite expensive to get DDR these days

Check here though:

Based in Ireland and good prices on DDR. I get all my RAM from there, great service.

Thanks dub, but still a bit more than newegg!

As everything this side of the pond is!

It's been a while but I'm still looking.....

So if I could just give this a BUMP one more time

If anybody has a set of 2GB G.SKILL DDR-500 (black heatspreaders) for sale, PM me ... I could use another set.

McFly!! Come on man, I'm stuck at 1 gig still. Help a bro out!

The best I'm still finding 1gb DDR is about US$50 (regardless of speed) and just yesterday I saw 1gb DDR2 (644MHz) selling for US$12. That's 1/4 the cost of DDR!!!

I guess I'll just have to be happy with 1gb DDR on the XP Home system for now. I've got 3gb on the XP Pro system, and I already know taking it down to 2gb definitely impacts performance, so no divvying-up the RAM.

But, then again, I also just saw a socket 939 4200+ X2 CPU selling for $130 when just a month or so ago I saw it for $60. I knew I should have bought it back then, but back then I couldn't stretch my home computer "super-happy-playtime" budget that far.
