Anyone know who's still selling SDRAM? I tried the websites for Staples and Futureshop, but alls they have is the DDR.
Also, my recording computer isn't hooked up to the internet so I can't tell the maximum amount of ram it'll take, but I'm guessing 2 x 1GB sticks can't hurt, right? That should cost between $150 - $200? Sound right?

I know there are tricks to how RAM has to be distributed, but I'll have to ask one of our more computer savvy members to chime in on this to be sure...Christian LeBlanc wrote:So I got a pair of 512's of SD RAM yesterday, and my computer wouldn't even recognize them Time to look into a new motherboard, methinks!

gamblor wrote:sounds like a motherboard limitation. how old's the compy? could be that the motherboard will only take a maximum of 256 per slot or something along those lines.
anyways, not to discourage or anything. just thought i'd throw out what i've learned from being in your situation.

take em all for a two four if you want. might be able to get a better system up and running with the excess parts. my former studio box actually has a working 250gb ide hard drive in it!
