I have an elderly but fairly powerful Dell 450 PC - quad processor, so it really works well with Linux Mint. At the moment I have 2MB memory, but
I'm tempted to take it to the max 4MB. It's PC2100 DDR, which is a bit old-style but still available.
So - can anyone recommend a good UK memory supplier who keeps a decent range at sensible prices?
i presume you mean gb not mb? i have a bag of old memory in the office ill check and see what i have lying around over the weekend if you can wait?
Loads on ebay if nobody on here comes up with any for you.
2mb lol

Pah!
You could try crucial.com.
If you go for ebay make sure its 100 % compatible
low density ramm.
Bought HD stuff and it worked on one of our PCs
and not the other. Clashing with the old ramm apparently.
Someone might be along to explain more accurately.
And my first computer was a 48K Spectrum

ahem! ZX81 1Kb FTW methinks
One thing I'll say is don't go too mad it's not really worth it - at work I can have a web browser (average 7 or 8 tabs open), two
versions of AutoCad, Outlook Express and Photoshop all open at the same time and my RAM usage never gets close to the 4GB's installed. At home
I've got a computer with 8GB and Windows 7 64bit and nothing I do ever gets close to needing anything near that amount of RAM - in fact I took
4GB out as an experiment and honestly couldn't tell any difference!
Mind you the work computer has 2 quad core cpus which probably helps - although they are horrible Xeon things.....
My first job was as a computer operator . IBM 1401 - 4K memory
IBM 7070 - 16 K.
Memory was little ferrite rings hand-threaded into a matrix.
I have some 1 x 1 Gig PC3200, 1 x 512mb PC2100, 2 x 512mb PC3200
I'll carry on looking. Are you using all your RAM slots now?
What model name is the PC?
I'd be interested in the 1GB PC3200 if it's DDR1 184 Pin non ECC stuff? that is of course if Mr Jenkins doesn't want it and/or you're looking to get rid? 2no. would be good if you have them?

I always used crucial

Yeah, I'd be interested depending on what you want for it? (if you did find another that would be great!?)
Nothing against Crucial - but as the PC it would be going into is a bit of an experiment to see how little you can spend to build a PC that does
everything 80% of computer users need...... in total it's cost me £25 so far plus some bits I had lying around I'm not going to spend twice
that on RAM from Crucial in this instance
