Fuck, memory is so cheap now. - GoFuckYourself.com

Lensman · 05-04-2002, 08:13 PM

I just bought 512MB DDR sticks for Pentium IV's for $99 each.

It's only costs like $600 to build an server with a Gig of Ram.

Sweet.

chodadog · 05-04-2002, 08:14 PM

Hmm... must go shopping..

Pipecrew · 05-04-2002, 08:14 PM

I remember way back when 16mb cost like 1200 bucks

AaronM · 05-04-2002, 08:15 PM

Now if you could just remember to send me that $1,000,000 you promissed then we will be set.

echo465 · 05-04-2002, 08:17 PM

I hear ya Lens.. I just updated one of my SQL servers to 2 Gig (1 just wasn't enough, ha).

Tam · 05-04-2002, 08:19 PM

I recently picked up 256k for my laptop, 256 for my desktop and only spent like $65 and hell I thought THAT was cheap, looks like it may be time for another upgrade huh? Hmmmmmm

If I say I am buying MORE pc parts, I just MAY be sleeping outside with the damn dogs.......... LMAO

SykkBoy · 05-04-2002, 08:24 PM

I'm stockpiling ram for the next rate increase...ram seems to be cheap, the factory in Japan blows up or some shit and suddenly prices shoot way up....so I'm stickpiling the shit out of it.......

Here in town at Fry's Electronics, the same place we bought most of the parts for the system that runs this board.

But I just looked at pricewatch and it's about the same: http://www.pricewatch.com/1/33/2841-1.htm

I'm gonna buy thousands of gigs of ram and sneak it into Australia and sell it out of a van in downtown Sydney.

No one steal my idea.

How much RAM is too much RAM in a win 2000 or XP system
Is 1Gb Overkill ? Anyone use 1GB?

i used 2 gig of SD on win2k up until a month ago and it was sweet. i'm currently tiding myself over with 512 DDR after getting a new system (my first athlon) until i could be assed bying more (which will be real soon.. it's fucked - and i hope it's the lack of RAM i like to have Photoshop, flash, dreamweaver, Window media, notepad, FTP, a few word doc and about 10 -15 IE windows running at once.. currently WM stops the music when i switch between windows when i've got that much open..)

but i've also got to get a better videocard.. i got a geforce 4 MX as a temporary "tide me over" until the Ti600 is out.

eru · 05-05-2002, 05:04 AM

Mushkin ram is top-notch and not overpriced. The reason the ram I am getting cost around $230 is because it is ECC Registered PC2100. It's the top of the top of the line. It even has built-on custom heat spreaders. No generic shit for me!

vegasdude · 05-05-2002, 05:12 AM

thats it IM GOING to by me a new pc (buying parts and build it myself)

I deserve it and the prices are actually very nice on various parts!

When on the subject,

Anyone have or no where to find a program that will trick your computer to think that a part of your RAM is a HDD? I've heard such a proggy do exist, but i have yet to find it somewhere :/

Just imagine the speed of heavy programs if you have it load from your ram instead of a slow 10k rpm hdd! :) *drooling*

GotGauge · 05-05-2002, 06:06 AM

Hello,

I found this link on why Some places sell what seems to be the same memory for cheaper.
It explains the different grades of Memory on the right side of the screen.
at the bottom the pricing is for the same memory just different grades.

http://www.pcboost.com/ddr.html

I never bought any from them I buy most of my stuff from
www.newegg.com

I sold'em some Electronic counting scales some years ago...
God they are cheap... Shopped the fuck out of me...
I just made it up on the service.....

Finally came back and said ok if I can have them at this price you have the order... So I said yes..... Then the guy told me......
God I hate paying retail...... But I must say he had done his home work very well.... the scale's he wanted were Top of the line... I had them in my rental fleet as a matter of fact.....

Servers with 2 gigs os RAM? Shit man this PC I am on has more ram than your server ?

Lensman · 05-05-2002, 09:02 PM

2GB Ram on a workstation, what the fuck for?

And when I lived in Scottsdale, Fry's Foods was the best. The funny thing is that Fry's Electronics is not the same ownership, but the logo is the same.
