Anyone got some old laptop RAM lying around? - (drook) - (18) - Dec. 17, 2020, 10:47:27 AM EST

I probably do. - (Another Scott) - (14) - Dec. 17, 2020, 02:34:09 PM EST

Yes, SO-DIMM ... I assume the pin count is the same - (drook) - (13) - Dec. 17, 2020, 02:40:48 PM EST

I've got a lot of older DDR2 stuff, one stick of DDR3 - (Another Scott) - (12) - Dec. 20, 2020, 04:49:21 PM EST

Got 64-bit Windows installed, just ordered the RAM - (drook) - (8) - Dec. 23, 2020, 01:36:05 PM EST

If performance is an issue, always go for dual-channel - (pwhysall) - (7) - Dec. 24, 2020, 02:53:05 AM EST

Does that mean it's better to have 2x4 than a single 8? - (drook) - (6) - Dec. 24, 2020, 09:55:30 AM EST

Aye-firmative. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Dec. 24, 2020, 11:59:24 AM EST

Well, I've already ordered the single 8 - (drook) - (4) - Dec. 24, 2020, 01:59:45 PM EST

It's a single 2, so 5x performance here I come! -NT - (drook) - (2) - Dec. 24, 2020, 02:08:12 PM EST

Yup. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Dec. 24, 2020, 04:32:43 PM EST

This is anything but "recent" -NT - (drook) - Dec. 24, 2020, 05:21:10 PM EST

I've got a few sticks... - (pwhysall) - (2) - Dec. 21, 2020, 01:36:38 AM EST

They seem to still be producing it for laptops - (drook) - (1) - Dec. 21, 2020, 07:17:07 AM EST

DDR3 is still vee cheep. - (pwhysall) - Dec. 21, 2020, 10:42:53 AM EST
