Where can I buy some 72-Pin EDO SIMM memory modules from?

Any reputable place out there that sells this memory type for a reasonable price? This fool friend of mine decided to upgrade his PC to Windows XP and his system only has 64MB of RAM. This PC is an old Packard Bell POS.

Any useful links to reputable internet stores is greatly appreciated.
 
Check crucial.com or put a WTB post in the FS/T forum here or go to eBay.

Or spend $50-100 in FS/FT for a cheap P2 - P3 system that will be much faster than his old pentium 1 junker.

Or PCSurplusOnline.com to buy one from a company instead of an individual.

Too right, for the price you'll pay for the stick of ram you could almost buy a low end system off the for sale/trade section. Unless you're married to the Pentium 200Mhz you're trying to fix.
 
I've bought all sorts of older ram, used, via ebay. Very handy for those 5 volt DIMMs that some early PII systems used. You can often find really good deals, but sometimes a bidding war breaks out at the last minute.
 
I believe that old 72 pin EDO ram, had to be installed in matched pairs as well, so you would have to find 2 identical sticks, and it won't likely be cheap..
 
I agree that your "fool" friend should abandon his Pentium, or just do a fresh install of Win 98. Yikes!

Or another "fool" idea: For $200 to 250, upgrade his case (Antec SLK 1600, includes Antec PSU--$50--no worries about generic PSU), MB (with integrated video, Asus or something else reliable, considering he'll probably have this one for a long time, too), CPU (Sempron or Athlon XP--cheap but adequate), and RAM (256-512 MB Corsair Value Select--no worries about generic RAM).

Reuse everyting else, except perhaps HD (40 or 80 G, add another $50-65).

At least he'll have something that can run XP and productivity-type apps for several years to come.
 
Not worth the money. Plus can it even handle more than 64mb? Nearly all of those consumer level Pentium classic systems maxed out at 64MB.
