Are These 64 MB Computer RAM Parts Worth Anything? | Jake's Basement Find

In summary, Jake found two computer parts in his basement and wants to confirm if they are two 64 MB computer RAM parts and their worth. The parts are RDRAM and could potentially sell for $20-25 per card on eBay. However, since they are PC600, they may not sell for as much as PC800 parts. There are not many companies making computers that use RDRAM anymore, but there are still many in operation. Jake is wondering how much he could get for the parts in New Zealand.

Looks like RDRAM which is pretty fast RAM though not all machines support it. You might get $20-$25 per card.

Yeah, looks like a pair of 64 MB PC600 RDRAM sticks. EBay would be a good source of what you might get for them. If they were PC800 you'd probably be able to get a better price. There aren't too many companies making computers that use RDRAM anymore (actually none AFAIK), but still a lot of computers that use them still in operation (I have one at home).

FAQ: Are These 64 MB Computer RAM Parts Worth Anything? | Jake's Basement Find

1. What is Computer RAM?

Computer RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that stores data and instructions temporarily while a computer is running. It allows quick access to data, which is essential for a computer's performance.

2. How does Computer RAM work?

Computer RAM works by storing data in integrated circuits, which can be accessed randomly by the CPU (Central Processing Unit). When a computer is turned on, data from the hard drive is loaded into the RAM for faster access and processing.

3. What is the difference between RAM and a hard drive?

RAM is a type of temporary memory that is used to store data while a computer is running, and it is much faster than a hard drive. A hard drive is a type of permanent storage that stores data even when a computer is turned off, but it is slower compared to RAM.

4. How much RAM do I need for my computer?

The amount of RAM you need for your computer depends on your specific needs and usage. For basic tasks like browsing the internet and using office applications, 4GB of RAM is usually sufficient. However, for more demanding tasks like gaming or video editing, 8GB or more of RAM may be necessary.

5. Can I add more RAM to my computer?

Yes, it is possible to add more RAM to your computer by purchasing additional RAM modules and installing them in the available slots on your computer's motherboard. However, it is important to ensure that the new RAM is compatible with your computer's hardware and that you do not exceed the maximum supported amount of RAM.
