Obsolete DRAM Collection

As you might expect by now, I harvest various bits & pieces from the PCs falling off the trailing edge of my assortment. The bag of obsolete DRAM recently floated to the top of the heap:

Half a gig of ECC RAM from what might have been a fire-breathing Pentium Pro box:

DRAM Assortment - 256 MB ECC
DRAM Assortment – 256 MB ECC

The PCBs along the top apparently filled vacant memory slots.

Some 32 and 64 MB DRAM from a few IBM laptops I turned into picture frames:

DDR2 DRAM in assorted sizes & speeds:

DRAM Assortment - PC2 DDR
DRAM Assortment – PC2 DDR

PC133 DDR DRAM, with four sticks of 1 GB PC3 along the bottom:

DRAM Assortment - PC133
DRAM Assortment – PC133

If you look closely, you may see something you can use. No reasonable offer refused …

  1. You could harvest the chips to reuse. Take a 32MB router that OpenWRT doesn’t want to support anymore and change it to 64MB.
    I’ve seen people modding routers and graphics cards, but what about ip-cams.. ?
    (See “router solder ram hack” in google or youtube, or “openwrt ram solder”)

    1. I’m happy to send ’em to someone doing that sort of thing.

      Anybody who wants ’em: pay the shipping and they’re yours!

  2. ASUS M3N78-VM AM2+ Nvidia 8200 DDR2-1066 Nvidia Geforce 8200 IGP mATX Motherboard ($199.99, Used – Good)

    Bought a fresh one in September 2008 ($77) still in use.
