Computer guys, I need your help!!

[musicman]

I am in desperate need of some PC2700 RAM. I have two computers at my office and I had to donate the RAM from one to it's brother, so now I've got one box that isn't running.

I'm looking for some REALLY cheap (cough..cough... free even? cough cough!) sticks of RAM. I NEED at least two sticks of 256mb ea. I'd LIKE 4-6 sticks of 512mb or 2 sticks of 1g, but I know beggars can't be choosers. So if you've got that old box lying in the corner doing you no good, yank the RAM out and give it to me, and then you'll have yourself some nice target practice!

I'll drive anywhere in Rutherford Co or Southeast Davidson. Thanks guys and gals!

This is online, but Crucial is the BEST place I have ever purchased RAM, and delivery is FAST . . .

Musicman, I may be able to help. I got a Dell in the garage that the memory may work in. It took a lightning hit about two years ago but would still boot and then the vid card would go crazy. Its all onboard in the MB but I think the processor and memory may still work. Just never got around to testing. I'll pull it out in the morning on the way to work.

Maybe it will help sweeten the other project we are discussing. Holler on the cell and we can decide when we can meet. If it don't work, then neither of us are out anything but some meet and greet time.

Oh, and if this works............I want an autographed pic of Charlie!

Is this for a laptop or desktop?

I have some old laptop memory around here somewhere. If that is what you need, I will try and dig it up.

Scratch that Dell, they had a habit of using proprietary memory with their systems until some of their newer computer, Dell DDR RAM, pretty much normal RAM with the notch in a different place.

RW, I'll give you a call in the morning, thanks!

RD, desktop. Thanks for your willingness to help!

I don't have any PC2700, but I do have a couple 512mb sticks of PC3200 I could mail you. Will your board take PC3200?

You can always go faster but not slower. PC3200 is faster than PC2700 so it should be fine.

I have got 2 sticks of PC2700U 256mb that you are welcome to have. Let me know if you want them.

It really depends on the motherboard. Most should just see it as PC2700, but I've run into a couple that will not recognize it at all.
