Where to buy 4x 1gb ram ddr 1 ??? 

But now i have 480 mb ram (cca 240 mb x2)

ddr1 you might need to go to ebay for that

I got some from Crucial (2 x 512mb) about two years ago, and a quick search proves they still stock it new.

 

 

Check Ebay though, there are some good deals, it is often sold in job lots though (e.g. a large box full of unidentified RAM). Ebay has great deals on even used DDR4.

Microcenter still sells ddr1 ram. Pretty expensive compared to ddr3, or ddr4 though.

Also you still buy it an amazon.

Most people will probabbly give it away for free though, anything that uses ddr1 ram is obsolete now.

I have a server PC with 512mb of SD-RAM running in my shed. It has been running for two years, until the IDE hard disk died last week.

 

It did the job (Testing web server) flawlessly.

Sdram is even older then ddr1, you must have a pentium III or something.

 

Sounds like you need an upgrade, it would be worth it just in the money saved in your power bill. Even a RPi would most likely be an improvement over that, the newest one even has 1gb of ram, and a quad core arm cpu at 1.2GHz, and it uses almost no power.

I'm going to do an upgrade tomorrow.

 

I found an LGA775 motherboard, and I have several LGA775 CPUs. I plan to move my old Ubuntu game server PC into the case of the old SD-RAM machine, and put the newer LGA775 motherboard in my old game server, to run VMs on.

 

I'll keep the old PC though. Next time I need something, I can just stick it in a case and fire it up. It is a shame 512mb is it's maximum.

 

 

My oldest PC will then be an old ASUS motherboard with an i386 AMD and 2x 512mb of DDR1. I don't plan to upgrade that any time soon. It ran my website for a year with no problems until the hard drive died three weeks ago. It is maxed out at an incredible 1GB of RAM.

 

 

It is amazing to think, though, that 15 years ago, 128mb of RAM was a decent amount, and XP would run on it fine. Now, my main PC has an incredible 16 gigabytes of RAM. If you had taken even the average current desktop PC back 15 years, they would wonder why on earth we would need all the computing power we have today. Back then, gaming meant playing Minesweeper.
