Hello,
This is the build I am working on, expecting the last parts to arrive before Friday. I took apart my old pre-built Asus computer to see if the was anything useful. It has four Nanya 2GB DDR2 RAM PC2-6400U in there. Is there any value (and would it even work) adding 2 of these to the empty slots of my new build? Or would they have some re-sale value that would outweigh a small performance boost? Thanks!
