DDR 2 ram: where to get it?

[Lani]

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get 2x 1gig of DDR2 ram for a reasonable price, tried locally and the price they are quoting is silly. ... something bout the manufacturer going bust.

Hi Lani, before you go out and buy any ram you should check what is the most suitable brand.
Your Mother Board manufacturer will have recommendations on their website.
Next we need to know if you are completely replacing your memory or is this ad add on.
If it is an add on then you should match what you have currently.
This will save you a lot of problems if you consider those things first.

One you have sorted out what is the best ram then you can go hunting.

Go to https://www.auspcmarket.com.au/ and hit the memory tab

Also I buy from the Sunday Computer swap meets if you have one handy, but here you will have to stick to the brand you know, don't be convinced to buy others.

Hope that little bit helps, I'm sure there are more qualified people here who can add to that.

I normally stick to Corsair, the one with the heat sinks attached is great.

I think I paid about $64.95 for a twin pack (2 x 1Gb).

i-tech is an AP site advertiser and Scorptec have a pretty prompt service record with me.

Thanks everyone, will check which brand I have,( via Michael)... pulling towers apart isn't in my comfort zone. ), it is an add on to the 2 gig I have atm, hopefully it will speed things up, or I may have to upgrade the motherboard as well... bugger!
