what $50 worth of rambus looks like

jdmcnudgent · Apr 15, 2002

hmm, i paid $50 bucks for this? do you guys think there is some benefit of running these sticks without the cover? there is a piece of some kind of plastic stuff in between the chips and the spreader. i will probablly run these without the cover, with a fan on them and the actual board ram chips, unless someone no's that it is not a good idea.

im guessing you can use the fact that the casing is off to get better cooling from it, maybe custom build something, with some fans on it, it'll surely work better than that crummy caseing that it comes with. lol where did you find that ram?

it is regular old pc800 samsung rambus. your 256 sticks look just like this, only diff is there is 8 chips under the spreader.

Rambus really socks it to the consumer....that looks like it cost them a buck thirty seven to make that, at first I thought you were playin a Aprils fools joke on me .....again :beer:

BTW JD, My best friend told me to price him a great system as he got a huge commision with his job......I priced him almost your exact system, down to the Vapochill....

I was wondering myself how well four 64-MB sticks of RDRAM might overclock. Under the spreader, it looks like your stick except there are just two modules about 2" apart. It should run real cool except you have to run 4 sticks to get a decent amount of ram.

I may try it as I know a hole-in-the-wall shop that has some early 2001 sticks (which I and BMG have found does well). $60 for 4 sticks is not too bad, plus I could sell them for maybe half that used.
