RIMM (Rambus) memory
Can I use less expensive memory in a computer that take Rambus memory?
The computer is a older Dell Dimension 8100. It has 4 memory slots. Two are filed with 129mb modules and 2 are filled with 64mb modules (memory must be installed as a pair). We prices for a single 128mb Rambus module is $99. So to get a pair would be $200 for a gain of only 128mb. Is there a less expensive solution? D. Azose

RIMM (Rambus) memory
The computer will work only with rambus memory. It is usually more cost effective to replace the motherboard than to buy rambus memory.

Thanks again David

Thanks again David Mike is 100% correct. I was able to find some cheaper prices on ebay for this type of memory 6-9 months ago. I haven't compared your prices above with ebay's current listings, but you might want to do so.
