where to buy cheap DDR1 Ram for my old PC? currently has 256mb
looking for PC2700 333mhz 1GB ram about 4 pcs



I googled it and checked it on nextag.com and pricegrabber.com. but they are all expensive for 1GB

Good luck- it's expensive now...try FS/T?

It costs double what ddr2 does, not really any way around that.

Youd be better off investing that money into a new computer.

You can get CPU+Mobo+2GB DDR2 for ~160.

"Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory Model KVR333/1GR - Retail"
$34 a memory module - i guess you don't need 2 of them.

$34/Gb is pretty high, considering DDR3 is ~$20/Gb.

Yes, it is pretty high, but it's because DDR1 is rare and expensive these days. The prices never really dropped like other forms of memory for some reason.

Oh sure, it's completely understandable. However, I wouldn't drop $130+ to upgrade a system running DDR1. At that point, you might as well save a few extra bucks and rebuild. Earlier this year, I sold an E2180 / 4Gb / 400Gb / DVD-RW system for what...$200 or something.
