Anybody want some DDR RAM (that's no TYPO! ) ?

[AlTech]

Hi guys, 

 

When i was at school around 2 years ago me and 2 of my friends saw one of my school's old servers being put next to the trash. We kindly asked the IT department if we could have it and they said, sure! So we scavenged for parts and came out with some ancient stuff. It had a pentium processor (don't remember which one) a floppy disk, 1GB RAM and some extras. I got to keep most of the RAM and have just left it in a plastic box in my room since then.

 

So I got to keep 768Mb of DDR RAM (3 256Mb Dimms) by Miron (1 of them) and Infineon (2 of them).

 

2 of them have CL 2.5 while one has CL 3

 

1 is a DDR 333Mhz

 

1 is a DDR 266MHz

 

1 is a DDR 400MHz

 

anybody interested?

 

I have no use for this and it's wasting space.

 

So anybody want it?

Try setting them on fire to recover some gold

[Cwazywazy]

256MB DDR1 sticks? They'd be worth less than the price of the stamps used to ship them.

They do have quite a bit of gold on them and they look so retro.

It's copper contacts

yeah, but setting stuff on fire to recover a tiny bit of gold, I don't think that's how it works.

Whatever, i ain't even mad. I just want to get rid of them. Anybody doing a Pentium 3 build    LMAO ?!!!

[AlTech]

No but seriously anybody want one?

[Kirky2k15]

I can beat this... I still have 32MB SD RAM Haaaaaaaaaaa!

It's just old RAM. I have a pile of 512MB and 1GB DDR1s on my desk right now.

[AlTech]

if nobody's interested then where do i safely  remove the RAM?  Where do i move it to?

[DigitalHermit]

I'd have taken them if they were SODIMMs...

[IPickle]

Check with you local council. they will have electronic waste disposal services.

Since when does P3 use DDR1? If it was PC100/PC133 I'd definitely be interested but otherwise no.

Thats like saying that old towels are just old towels to a towel collector

Even though they are common, they probably have a huge history behind them since they are server RAM sticks

 they probably have a huge history behind them since they are server RAM sticks

What's that even supposed to mean? Also since they're server RAM sticks they're probably ECC which usually (AFAIK) doesn't work in older normal motherboards.

 

EDIT: Yeah, when I had my Asus P4P8X (RIP in peace. Was last seen being used as a test bench last year, I assume someone threw it out by accident. Still has a place in my heart.) I couldn't use ECC RAM and (For whatever reason, since it had 4 slots and supported 64 bit OSes) wouldn't boot at all with more than 3.5GB installed.

The RAM sticks can be used for spare parts, or just collecting, its not like collectors are going to use these RAM sticks in normal computers

 

There is a huge following for old servers/computers, and these RAM sticks could be used as spare parts, or just to collect

 

And with historical value, i mean that collectors often want to know the history behind the parts/computers, like shown in the video LGR is happy that it came with a log book, explaining what the servers have gone through

 

Although maybe DDR1 memories arent old enough to have any real demand yet

[IMPERIUS]

Those days when 1gb of RAM were enough for a server...

Prefect keychain material... I've cut up mine for that

If you are willing to ship it i might 

[Vivilacqua1]

I used to have a 1 gig stick of ddr. Now all I can find is two sticks of 256 Mb sticks.
