(Sorry to bother the list with this, but with budgets the way they are...) We only have one system with Rambus memory here, a Dell Precision 420, now out of warranty. It looks like the memory is going bad. I've found someone in another department that can loan me memory to confirm the problem. I'm pretty sure we will want to buy some memory to keep it running. Looks like 512MB new is over $500. (that was from Kingston -- just looked at Pricewatch, maybe $200 from a small vendor) Does anyone have some they would sell? Maybe from an old system that died with another problem. It wouldn't have to be 512MB, he could probably live with 256 or 128 until we decide whether to buy a new system, etc. From the Dell system summary: Two Rambus Inline Memory Module, 256, 400M, 128X18, Error Correction Code, 16C, West And no, we didn't want to buy Rambus, but that was the only dual processor systems Dell sold at that time. -John
