Places For Cheap Ram?

[xTweakx]

Well I upgraded my main computer with new RAM. So I would like to upgrade my backup computer with probably 2GB, since it only has 2 slots. It's XP and the ram I have left is too small but fits in it. It's DDR 266MHz, so I'm guessing PC2100. Does anybody know of any online sites that might have it for a pretty decent price? Preferably under $30. I looked on Ebay but the sellers don't have feedback that I'd agree with. Thanks...

I always buy my RAM from newegg, they seem to have great prices. I just bought 4GB 800MHz PC-26400 for 40 bucks (After rebate) literally minutes ago

Yeah I was thinking about newegg.com. Is there another kind of RAM I could get that might be cheaper? Like do I HAVE to have DDR 266MHz? If not, what other ones could I search for? Thanks.

Do you know the brand and model number of the motherboard? It depends on what your motherboard will take.

Umm no I don't. Is there a way I can find out without using the internet? Because I don't have enough RAM to run it right now.

Hello xTweakX.

Have a look at this.

That gave me some right info about my computer Compaq S6500NX, but it gave me the wrong memory. And the memory was like $49.95.

I did a search and I found that your computer should take DDR 333 (PC2700 I think). It also said that it has 512mb ram, which would seem more than enough to run a browser and connect to the internet. Maybe the S6500NX is just the series number, is there another number on the back or sides?

Edit: Also if it is DDR 333 it is going to be more than DDR2 800. Newegg has a couple for around $50.00 for two gigs.

Hello, best deal here, but you will have to get one stick at a time to take advantage of the rebate.

Hello xTweakx.

If you don't want to waste money and maybe fry the motherboard; you need to be sure how much and the exact type of RAM the mobo will accept....

Mmk, I'll prolly just get a deal off ebay of the ones I'm sure it'll take. That's how I got my RAM for this computer. I have one stick of memory that fits in there right now and it's DDR 266 256MB. I want 2x 1GB sticks for 2GB. And those sticks on those sites look way to large for my computer. Thanks tho..
