Hello one and all.

I've got a question for you. Do you have 1.5GB of SD ram 133mhz in three sticks of 512MB going for next to nothing (prefferably right next to nothing)?

Senario is this. I do a little bit of moonlight now and again to earn a couple of extra pennys here and there. So one of the members of my archery club wanted a hand getting a network installed into their office. So a couple of hundered meters of network cable, a dozen sockets, a smeg load of trunking and manny mugs of tea later and they have a nice old fashioned wired network. Well they do after you do stuff with cat5 cables, hubs and tinker with XP a bit. Anyway, kicking around in the corner of a cuboard, all alone and unloved was a MAC G4 tower. Apparently they wern't using it anymore, so I brought it off them out of the money they gave me. Turns out is works OK after a clean up. And my brother helped me out with a re-image on the OS and some other usefull bits and pieces of software. Happy days! Another gadget to play with.

Now this brings me around to my scrounge. The Mac currently has 512MB in it over three slots (x1 256MB, x2 128MB). In a Clarkson type manor, I intend to give it "MORE POWER!" by maxing out the memory in it. So a bit of reading up and apparnetly this thing will take up to 1.5GB of SD ram running at 133mhz. Either CL2 or CL3, but as always, all the ram modules need to be the same CL.

So I know this is cheaky, but I figured that that before I go and buy some old ram I should ask if there is anyone out there kind enough to donate any 512MB SD ram modules that they don't need. You never know unless you ask

Wee offtopic-post, I'm one of the cool guys!

[Magathery]

LOL! And applauded

[Magathery]

Any hoo! I will have a little strole over to the Crucial WEB site and look...

Arrr. About £40 per 512mb. LOL that can wait then

[PapaFade]

E-Bay?

[Nineblade]

I took two 512 sticks out of a machine a coupla months back. Sent the mrs up in the loft yesterday to find them but she couldn't so I spose I'll  have to go and have a look myself. Will let you know in a couple of hours..

[Nineblade]

I've found one 512 stick that says PC2 4200U don't know what that is but you can have it if it's any use to ya (came out of a Dell Dimension 4600)

Also found  2 x 256 sticks (Corsair VS256MB333)
and 2 x 1G (A-Data DDR2 667(5))

Free to a good home

[Magathery]

Strewth! How much kit do you have in your loft?

[Nineblade]

I'm a hoarder but I never use stuff once it's been in the enchanted loft. Every five years it gets  emptied down the tip

So if you can make use of them u can have em

[Chaos]

I used to be like that with parts... now i group them together and build pcs outa them... then sell them for a tidy profit
I usually sell stuff pre-overclocked too ... more money for a couple of hours hobbying

[Magathery]

I realy wish I was upgreading abetter PC. This mystical loft is appealing. There is nearly a game that could be made out of this. Can you enter the mistical loft of never-realy-there-land and aquire the parts you need before time runs out at the great planetary alignment, that will enialate the the entire contence of the world in the great cosmic reset

Thanks for the offer NineBlade, much appresiated, but just like the old Kiora advert "it's too orangy for crows" http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5LvLn9PWln8

Looking around I did find a shop over Ipswich way that specialises in Macs, older Macs as well. For old SD RAM I'm looking at £25 for 512MB, so if I do want to max out this G4 I'm looking at £75. Considering I need and want to upgrade my PC first, especially as I'm probably looking at having to get another hard drive, as my on is begining to lock up and crack the PC. I think I would be better saving the money and putting it towards the PC upgrade
