WTD: PC2-5300 / 6400 DDR2 Memory
stevebubs - 12/2/10 at 01:05 AM

Been given an oldish PC by my brother in law that looks ideal for my daughter. However it's lacking any memory.

Before I go and line the pockets of ebuyer or novatech, I don't suppose anyone has any PC2-5300 or 6400 DDR memory lying around that can be liberated for a modest sum?

Looking to stick at least 2GB in if I can and the price of memory appears to have gone up a bit recently - last time I looked, this would have set me back about £15, now it's about £30

TIA

I'm sure I've got some 533MHz, but I'm not sure about the 667MHz or 800MHz - I'll look later

I wish that was true for the stuff I've got - but no one want SIMM's anymore
(I remember when it was more than £100 for 8Mb in the shops )

True but this is still in common use and readily available. Trouble is memory prices fluctuate so much - last Sept it was about £15 for 2Gig. now it's twice that...
