digging around my old base unit this morning for my old MRI adsl modem as my 3com router had packed up last night and found a few bits...
512mb of ddr crucial ram
mx440 gfx agp
sb live card
network card
cdrom
cdrw drive
floppy drive
430w arianet psu - this was brand new as I thought a new psu may be the solution to a lightening strike, but no luck
Tempted to put in the ram to my existing system to see if it will work.
Reason it had not occured to me previously was that the old machine had packed up with a lightening strike, chap I took it too (prior to me understanding the workings of a pc) told me it was the mobo, cpu or ram that was fried - so I wrote off the all three...
If I try out the ram, will it just not show up if borked ?
would it be wise to take out my present 2gig and put in the old ram, or shall I just throw it in next to my existing ram?
as for the rest I am tempted to throw it in the skip along with the case and s478 mobo - do you reckon there would be anybody interested in the above parts?
posted here in case there is![]()

it was one of those that murdered my mates brand new athlon system. I had a dvd player made by them and it was terrible, Aria had it for over half of the 12 months warranty. Avoid anything with the Aria/Arianet brand name.
