LAZYWEB: Geek help desired: RAM spares anyone?

[labelleizzy]

LJ friend cerulean_me is in a bit of a bind.

a not-friendly friend seems to have gutted her computer of its RAM while staying at her house. =(

I know I know a lot of people who frankenbox or who do their own computer repairs, so thought I'd ask.

here are the specs, according to the spouse-and-household geek, 7leaguebootdisk:

"RAM Specs
It takes 1-4 modules of DDR2 533-800mhz, aka PC4200 to PC6400 (ie PC5300 would work), from 256MB to 2GB. Memory does not have to be paired (nicer if it is)."

If anyone might have something like that lying around (perhaps from a prior upgrade?) or is planning to upgrade RAM anytime soon and has something that would work, please contact me or directly contact cerulean_me or 7leaguebootdisk to let them know.


Thank you kindly.

I have plenty of RAM sticks around but they are all way way older so she can't use them.

Desktop or laptop? I have a box full of memory I've been meaning to put on eBay. It's at the old house, but I should be making a run down there some time this weekend.

hi love, they say it's a desktop. does that work?

and btw I can't wait to be moving to the South bay. I hope it means I will get to see friends like you and ammy and calliope and christyn and kevin and rachel more often...

Lets see. Looks like my desktop selection is pretty shabby.
- 2 512MB sticks of PC2-4200 (533mhz)
- 2 256MB sticks of PC3200 (400mhz)
- 1 256MB stick of PC2-100U (266mhz)

Looks like that first pair might be a fit. If your friend wants them, just send me their address (or yours) and I'll drop them in the mail.

if it is ancient... (PC100 Dimms?)

My moms Imac G4 needs a helping hand. 256M x 4 would be wonderful...

Also need 1gig PC2700 for laptops and DDR2 1 gigs 3200?s for another.

Wait, more shipping. DDR 3200's for Desktop too.

There we go, we need a ramswap, like the paper back book swap. I think I have a bunch of 128MB PC100/133 some place.

I've got a pair of 1 gig DDR2 PC5300 laptop sticks kicking around here from upgrading a macbook pro, don't know if those are too new for you.
