seany123 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i just found my old computer in my garage... i was thinking i could just buy some new hardware for it to make it more usable... so i thought the first thing to install would be a new RAM drive.. so i took a look at the current one and its got this: 128mb sync 133mhz CL3 the serial is: PC133U-333-542 now i looked on http://www.crucial.com and there are no ram drives like this over 1gb and the 1gb drive is £158... which is very expensive... so is there any other way of going about getting more ram for my computer?

MadTechie Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well if you got £10 then PC133U-333-542 SAMSUNG 128MB Sync 133MHz CL3 SDRAM £ 10.06 inc VAT What's the spec on the PC ? and what are you going to use it for? you may not need the memory!

zq29 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 the computer currently has 128mb.. which is obviously not any good.. i want atleast 2gb...

MadTechie Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I could be wrong but 133MHz CL3 SDRAM only goes up to 512Mb, so do you have 4 DIMM slots ? try eBay (<-- added search link)) but be careful some will sell 512MB but its 2x256) so double check Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/183982-what-to-do-about-this-ram/#findComment-971281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i was thinking i could just buy some new hardware for it to make it more usable You could but a nice pillow cover and use it as a foot stool. Seriously, if it that old I really wouldn't bother buying anything. Give it to charity.
