Greetings. I have an old Dell Precision Workstation 340 and I want to
upgrade my memory. I am NOT a computer wiz, so I searched online and
found
out that I need RDRAM memory, but the thing is that the prices vary from
around $200 up to aaround $500, depending, of course, on what size of
memory
I wish to buy. But I was expecting it to be around, I dont know, 50-$70
as
with other types of memory. Is there any other way I can upgrade my
memory,
such as using SDRAM or someting else thats compatible, or must I surrender
to
the fact that I need such expensive memory....?
Please help me out!

I have a believe 256mb ram right now... I've never had a problem with
that
pc, weather it being a motherboard problem, or OS issues, etc.... only
once
did i do a clean reinstall of XP Pro, but because i wanted to just start
off
the system fresh....not because of a hardware issue.......i've done quite
a
nice job keeping it running for about i dunno 6 or 7 years now.... and it
still doesnt freeze on me or jack up for no reasons..... all it has is
little
ram and a tiny hard drive... (2 tiny HDD's actually.... 20gbs
each...)....
but yeah, its a good machine, that i really cant complain...... but thank
you
all for your input....much appreciated...!!
hidekelip:
Just as an aside (and not that it will help you very much!) I share your
anguish. During that relatively brief period of time some years ago when
RDRAM (RAMBUS) memory was available and at least to some extent competitive
with other then-existing types of RAM, a number of shops I was associated
with installed that type of RAM in hundreds of machines.
In my experience, a more solid & stable RAM than RDRAM couldn't be found -
even to this day. I know it sounds incredible but I can't recall a single
instance of defective RDRAM even in machines to this day that have had hard
use. Like that battery - it goes on & on & on... So I'm not surprised in the
least to hear of your experience with it over the years.
It's a pity that marketing conditions - licensing, pricing, and other
factors caused its eventual demise and virtual disappearance from the market
and thus curtailing its further development.
I noticed in one of his responses Terry indicated he or she was able to
obtain add'l RDRAM at some reasonable price. Perhaps he/she can furnish you
with the source.
