 |

As per title, just wondering how many members collect different ram sticks? and if you do, do you check to see if they work? in which case working motherboards will be part of your collection too I would presume.

There are a few that do
Could be fun to collect a stick of each type (DDR, etc)
I have some very large DIMMs from IBM POWER servers, but I do not collect them

I do not collect ram sticks specially, but have ~5 Kg of
FPM, EDO, BEDO, SDRAM (SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3), RDRAM
in DIP, SIPP, SIMM 30 and 72, RIMM, and different DIMMs.
And mobos for all of them. |

Hehe, my answer is a combo of the last two;-)
... to be serious, years ago there was an auction of - I guess I remember - 30-pin SIMMs with grey-traced i2102 chips. That would be something I like.
Nothing of the rest. I just keep them if I find them.
Maybe I sell some kilos for scrap somewhen.

Yes, it seems if one goes cpu hunting, motherboards & ram are not far behind, heck, sometimes they even come joined togeather..hehe...
Meh, I just keep whatever comes my way eg. salvaging old systems or keeping an eye on bulk quantities @ auctions..etc..
I must be getting too attached to my pc hardware, don't want to discard anything that works..
I'm finding RDRAM PC1066 is pretty rare these days...

So, I have a few memory moduls in box, but i collect Bios-chips too with the Ami - Award sticks with its codes. I am very sorry, but I have no photos here for you.

I recently scrapped about 5 Kg of RAM, from 30 pin moduels of to some massive DIMMs from servers. I guess I should have thought about potential collectors before scrapping them - I know if I ever getanother boxfull like that:)

I'll put aside any interesting looking ram sticks. I have a small box if different interesting chips from 30 pin sipps to RDRAM.

Do you really have BEDO? If so, I would like to take some |

| I think bedo was an urban legend. Back in the day, I was looking for them - but nobody had them. Not even micron (who invented these things)... |

I spent some of Yesterday sorting through 75Kg of RAM that I intend selling.........What a Job
I did pick out a few Bits that I am intending to keep though including some old IBM Silver tops and some Dips with the Pins rather that the Fingers.

How many of you here are old enough to remember these?
