| Post subject: | Is this worth much? |
Okay so i've been looking on the fleabay and there's been varying prices for this stuff - from £300 for a 1GB kit to £16 for a 2GB kit. Wondering if: A - you guys could tell me what this is for (I reckon servers...) B - you guys could value it for me, so I know what to sell it for. C - anyone wants to buy it*? Or exchange it for some DDR PC3200? Posting here as i'm not quite selling, and it's both Mac and PC kit. =) *at an obvious x404 discount EDIT - Great - forgot to add the pics!

I judge that it's worth £5. I also know nothing.

Yes, it's Rambus RDRAM, which is hard to find and in high demand. |

Agree that it's Rambus... and relatively expensive  As for the high demand though.... was only used for certain (early) Pentium 4's wasn't it ? |

Yes. I can't speak for Macs (as mentioned) but Rambus RAM was only used by early (Socket 423) Pentium 4s before being dropped as the technology was too expensive and, as a result, Intel were (I believe) losing out, or going to lose out, to AMD using more conventional,cheaper PC RAM technology- SDRAM at the time, I think. |

Damnation. Well does anyone want to buy some? >.< And what sort of price would I get for it on the 'bay? Obviously the bay of small jumping insects rather than the bay of smelly men who go ARR. |

I'm no expert, but I tend to find with things like this (hard to find, but low demand), it comes down to who wants it, and how much they are willing to pay. If you get a couple of bidders that really want it, you could get a bidding war going on and a decent bit of cash at the end. On the other hand, you could just get one bid and end up selling it for 99p.  And sorry, but I don't want to buy it. I already have a reasonable collection of completely useless RAM sticks, thanks!

In all honesty I just haven't got a CLUE how much I should ask for it. I'm very willing (slash more than willing - would prefer!) to swap 2GB RDIMM for 2GB DDR... |

There's a fella in the US selling some on eBay for $24.99. Item #350225181458. It's the same stuff as yours, more or less. He's written: “1GB PC3200 400MHz ECC VLP Registered DDR1 184 pin very low profile 0.72" height DIMM for blade servers 18 chip Single Rank x4 128Mx72 Netlist NV9127RD1203A-D32KSC- for servers only. Not for desktops. Compatible with many server systems including blade servers that need VLP RDIMMs.” |
