Giving away or Scrounging

I was given a bunch of decommissioned PCs from which I have put together 6 systems. I'm now left with a further 7 PCs which are short of ram and hard disks.

They are all P4s with and without HT in the 2-3 ghz range.

They need ddr 266 or 400 depending on if they have HT or not
The non HT machines need ide hdd and the HT ones also have SATA connectors.

Does anyone want one?
Does anyone have spare ddr ram they don't want?

I also have a large stack of sd ram that I have no use for, including a few gb of ECC ram. Does that do anyone any good?

Hi, I'd be interested in one

Hi,
I'd be interested in one of the HT P4's.

I have several lots of RAM, reading off the labels:
2 x 1GB 667 MHz CL5 - DDR2 SDRAM - NonECC Unbuffered
1 x 1GB 667MHz CL5 - DDR2 SDRAM - Unbuffered
1 x 2GB 667MHz CL5 - DDR2 SDRAM - Unbuffered
All have "PC2-5300U-555" on them.

Hi mate. I'd be interested

Hi mate.

I'd be interested in one if its going, two if you really need rid of them... I'm sure I have a bit of spare DDR knocking around the place. Will have a look tonight.

I'm all out of SDR machines these days I think. Its getting to be pretty old tech unfortunately...

Ok, I'll bring 3 pc's up to

Ok, I'll bring 3 pc's up to Reading on Tuesday (assuming roleplay is on.) I think all of them use ddr rather than ddr2 though.

I could use a HT one without

I could use a HT one without a hard-drive...Twinkie has gone kaput, so can shift HD's over.

I'll check what RAM it has in return, though I think it's fairly old stuff...

Right, 4 then. Mark and

Right, 4 then.

Mark and Pete, who would you like them left with, I should see Rob and Byrn on Tuesday.

I'm assuming Rob Lang rather

I'm assuming Rob Lang rather than any other Rob, in which case either. Think RL is closer to me so would probably be easier for me to pick it up.
If not Byrn is fine.

ummm...ahh... What time

ummm...ahh...

What time Tuesday? I should be able to swing by and pick it up. Failing that Rob, as he'll probably still have my PC at that point, so it can be thrown on the stack.

I was going to pop around

I was going to pop around tonight with your PC, actually.
Or I might sell it. ;)

Based on the load times at

Based on the load times at the Con it's not going to net you much.

Should be in Reading from around 7 - 11. Not sure of the venue yet.
