Does anyone have any DDR 400 Ram(LOW DENSITY!!!) 1g sticks?

And a couple of DVD SATA drives\Burners?

I desperatly need them as cheap as possible if not free.

Please dig through your drawers and look for me.

how to tell the difference between low density and high?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

If your system is designed for accepting DDR (Double Data Rate) memories of 184pin DIMM (usually desktops) or 200pin SODIMM (usually laptops) built, for your system to fully recognise 1GB capacity per memory slot, you need to use 'Low Density - 64Mx8 config' 1GB module. If you use 'High-Density - 128Mx4 config' 1GB module, your PC may only recognise it as HALF the size at 512MB or most of the time it will not work.
How to tell if your 1GB module is a low or high density module?

All low density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each side) using 64Mx8 device.
All high density 1GB modules are made with 16 chips (8 chips on each side) using 128Mx4 device.

Almost ALL brand name ddr ram was low density

ddr 333 (pc2700) Would work also.

I just desperately need 2 1g sticks

i might have some 500mb sticks somewhere. i'll have to dig around and see though. would you be interested in those?

[LUZR4LIFE]

I have a spare 32mb stick.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

512 sticks will have to do for now ccl0.

Please OD look and see if'n you have any.

[ccl0]

ok i'll dig around and see what i can find

[ccl0]

bad news. i found 2 sticks. but i think one might be high density and one might be low density. one has 8 chips on both sides. and one has 8 chips on just one side

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Can I have them both? PLEASE?

[ccl0]

you can use the single sided one too?
