FS: 256mb PC100 High Density Ram (Infineon)

I have a spare stick of PC100 256mb (CL2) ram that I bought under the assumption that it was Low Density Ram. It has 8 chips, 4 on each side.

I have yet to get it to work in any of my machines, because they all require Low Density Ram (IBM and Compaq). This stick was tested a year ago in a friend's Dell (either a Latitude or Inspiron) and it worked just fine.

If anyone here has a use for it, let me know. I paid $65 for it, but I know that I am not going to get that much for it now.

Please email me with any offers at 'tfflivemb2' AT yahoo dot com.

Paypal preferred.

Bump...before heading over to eBay to sell it.

I know this isn't of help selling the thing, but I just thought I'd pass this on for grins

I few years ago, when I worked in IT for a large university, one of my pass-times was to go over to the surplus warehouse periodically and see what they had around. They as any large institution these days always had a bunch of Dells. There were several of us from various departments that'd go with screwdrivers in our pockets and accumulate any parts that might be useful. To make a long story short, I'd end up with a lot of RAM for Dells and they virtually never worked in ThinkPads.

Toshibas on the other hand was about 50/50.

Good luck with your sale. I'm sure you can get a good price on ebay for RAM that work in Dells (especially PC100 256Mb sticks).

Yeah, I even tried it in a Toshiba Tecra 8100 without luck.

Any Dell users out there?

Forgive my ignorance, but which Thinkpad models can use high-density 256MB PC100 sticks? It seems that the low-density version is what most people seeks. My guess is, the low-density one is good for both PC66 and PC100 machines, whereas the high-density one can work only on PC100 machines. Am I right?

I have yet to get it to work in any Thinkpad. As stated before, it worked in a friend's Dell.

Do you have some unusual attachment to this memory?

Yes, it is called laziness.
