Need memory upgrade.....aghhh!!

[Testosterone boy]

This is what I have to "trade."
512MB DDR....brand new in HP box
2x256MB SDRAM
2x128MB DDR

This is what I want:
2x512MB SDRAM


Computer store offered me $55 for all my memory and wanted $170 PER 512MB SDRAM. I called him a thief!

Any good idears by experienced brolys? I sent an email to my computer manufacturer....Power Spec....to see exactly what type of memory it needs.

I'd like to get something for my old memory.

sdram is insanely expensive right now. I guess b/c most are moving away from this technology as it's becoming outdated. Why not go for 2 sticks of 512mb ddr? You can get a 512mb stick of it from newegg.com for $60.

Here's some sdram from newegg. As you can see it's as expensive as ddr which is ridiculous.

Getting something for your old RAM is like asking for
top dollar for a used toaster at your garage sale...

Have you looked at how much this old ram is for sale today?
Probably not much more than $100 for all of it total..

I'd take the $55 offer but the 512 price he is quoting you is
about twice what it should be

Yes it is ....I'm reading the label....512MB DDR PC2100

Made by Samsung....it is brand new in HP box. I bought it off of Ebay last month for $78. Thought itwould work in my notebook but it is the size of desk top memory.

I'll take $60 plus $5 shipping. I can scan it and email if you want.

The gold contacts on the SDRAM extend 1/4" further than on the DDR. Does not look like a perfect match. I thought DDR needed a 'DDR' motherboard.

Sorry I assumed that you had a ddr mobo since you had ddr to begin with

ddr is on lap top.
