LOok at what I found!! (Pics) :D

ShadowPho · Jul 26, 2006

Yesterday my mom forced me to clean my room. So after going throught my drawer I see a plastic bag with something inside. So I look inside, and AGA! there are 2 memory sticks inside.

Then I see that instead of big rectangle memory chips, it has square ones. And there are 9 (!!!) of them on each side.
So then I get down to reading whats on them

AH28K72M4BHC4S
ATP 1024MB DDR2-400 ECC REG

So I go "HOLY COW!!!!"

So... how good are those memory? How much might they sell for?

aaa · Jul 26, 2006

Lol you have memory in your clothes drawer? Anyhow I'm guessing 50-75 a pop.

wing · Jul 26, 2006

never heard of that brand but registered ECC 1GB DDR2400 sticks sell for 97-150 bucks.

Assuming they work you might be able to get 80 bucks for the pair?

That's server memory; ECC registered DDR2 with samsung chips supposedly designed for E7520 AND E7525 chipset based boards; I don't think that it will work outside a board designed for ECC registered DIMMS, but could be wrong on that score. At 400mhz, however, they'll not be stellar performers in any application.

The going price is about $126 to $169 per stick, new.

The board its used with MUST support registered AND ECC or it will not work.

I have no idea lol.

Dang..... So I guess its not for me

Do you think I should try selling it in classifieds or on ebay?

Dreamstalker · Jul 26, 2006

Ebay might work as I have heard of companies sourcing parts there, but unless you can test it you might be in for a fight if the buyer says "oh noes it doesn't work!!!" AS-IS doesn't seem to carry that much weight.

well, if it doesnt work, I will just refund cash, and sell it for chips for like $10 a pop.

ShadowPho · Jul 26, 2006

so, should I just bump them on ebay, or classifieds first?

Pick your Poison as the expression goes!

Still, arent they nice

MadMan007 · Jul 27, 2006

I have to ask, just what the heck were you doing with ECC registered memory which you didn't even know about tucked away in a drawer

Max0r · Jul 27, 2006

A problem I'd like to have

Heh. I just use my room for taking PCs apart and together. SO I was probably taking apart something, and totally forgot about the RAM.
BUt then, what did I take apart that had DDR2 ECC?

Kurz · Jul 27, 2006

Maybe you bought ECC Ram without knowing it wouldnt work for your system.
So you stashed it like a Squirel would do.

arent ECC RAM more expensive than non ECC?
Hmm, maybe you are right though. Lol....

next i bet we'll hear he found some AM2 chips he left in the tank of his toilet for safe keeping that he forgot about

Janglur · Aug 2, 2006

Most valuable thing I'VE ever found was a 'lost' Asus A7N8X Deluxe.

WarriorII · Aug 3, 2006

Could prolly count them on one hand.

Be nice if you aren't gonna use them, try
