That's quite a lot of RAM you have there!!

The 9800 Pro can expect £60 is all I know

He runs a swap file for the internet on a ram drive

He's running a beta version of BF3

- sorry for the digression! -

[Tabris]

He's running a beta version of BF3

Would seem more like BF4 or something higher to me .

I'd pay no more than £300-£400 for it though.

[Jonny]

I'd say £300 to £350, depending on where you sell it.

[GFiSH]

Yeah, I agree, advertise it in a paper for £350 ono. Or even take it apart and sell the bits on ebay, you might get a bit more, but would be a lot of hassle.

[autopilot]

Yeah, i was thinking £350. BTW, did i mention the 500 Terabyte USB memory stick i was selling?

[nvening]

how much ram can XP 64bit take? If so i may be interested in the ram if you split it. Anyone know of any mobos that will take it? Is it dual channel? Have you tryed overclocking it? if so how far? Ill go see how much crucial are chrging for 768gigs at the mo brb

[junglejim]

Not sure about the op system, but with 768 GB Ram you are not far short of the 1 TB (1000 GB) limit on what the processor can address

To get 768GB ram from crucial you would need 192 4GB Dimms at a cost of £2083.26 each giving a total value of: £399,985.92

so I wouldn't want less than £400,000 for the whole system

Sorry for continuing the pettyness

I am still looking for a 'board with more than 191 DIMM slots......

sorry, too, for continuing....

[autopilot]

Can't be bothered to edit my orginal post, it's obviously causing too much amusment!

[kevpuk]

Rightly so, don't edit it as it is keeping the Thursday blues at bay......

[autopilot]

Well it's on sale in the classified forum. However, i had to remove some of the RAM for a Cray super computer i'm upgrading. Sorry.

[irishjoe]

I'd say nearer £250. Don't really know many people looking for old base units when new ones are very cheap these days.
