Hi again. I've acquired an old Dell desktop to tide me over for a while. I need to do a tidy up around the house before I can spare the time, but once I have it, I'll see if I can get the processor off the heatsink with dental floss. i hear it's wonderful for it. If I manage to do that, I'll discuss options. Remember, I still need a new PC...
Ok....
The one I've got given today is running on 2x256MB DDR1 RAM. The machine is good up to 2x1GB. Has anyone got a pair of unwanted DDR1 RAM sticks they are prepared to donate to a good cause, please?
I have a few sticks of 256 and a single 512, but not a matched pair. If anyone wants, I can trade for some laptop RAM. I think I've got a few 1GB sticks floating around, but not sure if DDR1, 2 or 3. If there's interest I can dig them out.
Cheers guys.
