I don't know what it is, except that it's old-school RAM and I need more of it. Most comments and information would be appreciated.

the failure of the RDRAM = the failure of the NetBurst architecture

ps it's really expensive gl hf dd

About 5 years ago, I had a Dell computer that died after a year and a half, and they replaced it under warranty with a brand new computer. It was a pretty nice upgrade even though they didn't have to do it, 900Mhz -> 1.7Ghz, 40GB -> 80GB, and 256MB SDRAM -> 512MB RDRAM.

I remember them boasting about how good RDRAM was so I was like 'awesome ok.' 3 years later I found out that I needed some more RAM for my simulations, and I checked out some places for the costs of adding another 512MB. It was several hundred dollars.

rdram was so fast, for the 3 months it was out

It still costs 500$ doesn't it?

My brother needed some more of that crazy stuff for his computer last year. It still costs $texas.

So what do you guys consider a fair price for a stick of 256 mb PC800 40ns rdram?

I would upgrade to a different platform if it was my money or buy a used machine that didn't use Rambus.

My machine is fine for what I use it for, I'd just like it to be a little sharper.

^How do I "upgrade to a different platform?" Isn't that the motherboard? and uber $Texas? Or is that what you meant?

Ya, poor choice of wording. Possibly changing your mobo or scour ebay for memory.
