RDRAM

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a 3 year old 1.8 Gig CPU Dell 8200 with 256 Meg RDRAM. I want
to increase the RAM to 512 or 1 Gig. The RDRAM is PC-800 Non-ECC 45
ns. The serial is MR16R-0828BN1-CK8. The pc has 2 128 mb modules.
RIMM3 and RIMM4 are unoccupied.

I have asked a lot of people about adding ram and I get all types of
responses. The prices of RDRAM on ebay is almost the price of mail
order. Buying electronics off ebay is very risky. Fraud in
electronics is rampant on ebay.

What kind of chips can I purchase?

Where is the cheapest place?

There really is no "cheap" where RDRAM is concerned.

Have you looked here: www.4allmemory.com ? I've not used them, but
apparently (according to their own "most popular" list) a lot of Dell owners
have. Most times I've checked (not recently), they were slightly less
expensive than crucial.com on their DDR SDRAM price.

They have a RAM configuration tool on their site, so that will help.

I think that you may find that www.4allmemory.com may be one of the few
sources available, although you could try
http://www.memoryx.net/deldim82ser.html as well!!!

www.crucial.com & www.kingston.com don't do this type of memory any more!!

HTH

well YMMV but I bought 4 x 512mb RDRAM off of ebay about a year ago (two
different sellers but both with excellent feedback and a lot of trades under
their belts) for £352 including postage.

Mail order price in the UK at the time was closer to £600.
