Anyone have/selling some DDR ram? I think my 256 is just not enough for UT, or any games we will be playing at the lan. I'm checking here before I find some online/stores. anything will do 64/128/256/512 (all that I can afford). Please and thank ya!

256MB DDR memory runs around $40ish
Check out http://www.crucial.com

If you are doing that good on CS with 256MB memory you will own even more with 512 (never have needed more than this for any game I've played).

When I run CS on my PC running Windows XP I typically am using 380MB of memory. If my PC only has 256MB I'm hitting my paging file constantly (bascially part of your hard drive gets used as memory which is a lot slower) and my performance takes a huge hit. I also recently had to give up some high quality memory for some low end garbage and noticed a little difference in gameplay.

On that note.. Let me know what speed DDR you need and I may have a lil laying around.

I tried to stay as far away as possible from RAMBUS when it came out. Not much different than DDR speedwise (unless you have the $$$$ for the best of everything) and DDR actually better for some apps...

omg, no wonder why my pc seemed slow playing cs..i only have 256 mb since one of my chips went bad :( . I use pc2100 ddr, cause it's cheap. unfortunately i still can't afford to get back up to 512.
