RDRAM 2gb

[Guest]

Have a much loved Compaq Evo W6000 workstation from year 2000, with dual Pentium 3 Xeon processors.

Will take the trouble to build this up for Win 7 if I am able to find (paired) Rambus / RDRAM /184-pin RIMM modules bigger than 512 mB (two pairs of 512 mB make just 2gB of memory).

Have so far found no bigger RDRAM modules bigger than 512 mB (except where the advertiser is not clued up enough to suggest 1 gB when these are in fact standard 512 mB)

Can anyone help. I am based in London, England, United Kingdom

I'm sure it would save hassle just to build a new work station ;0)

I found these on eBay but they're pretty expensive:

I had a HP Kayak XM600 that used to have a rdram to sdram riser adapter board in it (takes 2x sdram sticks 100/133MHz), maybe you could use them instead.

Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug.
