[clug] PC133 SDRAM going cheap

[Alastair D'Silva]

A customer has returned a batch of RAM as it is incompatible with their
machines, so I now have 32 sticks of PC133 512MB memory burning a hole in my
pocket. Since I don't really have a need for quite this much myself, I'm
happy to pass it on at cost to fellow CLUGgers.

If you have a need for some PC133 memory, you can have it for $140 inc GST
per stick, with a 3 year warranty, and you can return it within 7 days if it
doesn't work in your machine. The brand is HTL, and the sticks are double
sided, CAS3. I've tested them in a few motherboards, these are the results:

Compaq i815:               Does not boot
Compaq i845:               Does not boot
Intel i810:                      Only 128MB detected
Intel 440BX/LX:            Only 128MB detected (like this was ever going to
work)
Via KLE133:                 Works fine
Via Apollo Pro 133A:    Works fine


PS. I may be organizing a bulk buy of some AverTV DVB-T cards soon, which
work beautifully with MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org). I estimate the price
to be around $150.
