In my Everything Must Go phase, I have the following as a result of a bad buy (my mistake):

NOT IBM branded - but labeled:

Centon 256MBLT133 166506
PC133 256MB SDRAM 16Mx8 SPD
U17256A4UIB6A20
*0301273*36
(warranty void if labels removed, which they haven't been)

2, 2x2 chips each side (total 16?) - each marked:

* USI 16M864-PH200
* 0334

Bought at CompUSA long ago - didn't work in my T20, but didn't fry it either. I believe it will work in a T23 or like system. Was labeled to work PC100 or PC133.

"Like [insert cowardly nationality here] rifles, never shot and only dropped once" - but never actually dropped, like new in orig plastic

I just want to be shut of it - is it worth anything to anyone?

1) cash is always OK; make an offer

2) want in trade:

33L3070 PC100 RAM for T22;
41U3148, 62P4554 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim (T41p);
08K9828 hard drive cover(/caddy?) for T41p
Good 6 or 9 cell battery for T4x
-or-
anything generally useful, perhaps; make an offer


Hate to throw it out.

Oh - I see I have made a faux pas - no idea what to ask for it. Searches for this piece give like $80 for it. I suppose it is nothing special but it does have a lifetime warranty. Asking $40? OBO.

Has a lifetime warranty to the PURCHASER WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE. I think almost ALL warranties are void when sold/traded.

-------------------------

Now, Ohio, if you are actually interested in buying the part, let me know and I'll turbo their custserv and find out what you're asking. But the above seems to require no proof of purchase except inasmuch as they ask where it was bought, which is CompUSA, the one on 5th Av in Manhattan.

If anybody thinks they can't handle these people themselves, ship the RAM back to me and I will work the warranty. Assuming it fails electrically, which allow me to doubt.

If any POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS have questions please let me know.
