If I buy memory from the USA, will it work in a UK desktop? - GoFuckYourself.com

ldinternet · 03-20-2004, 11:11 AM

Hardware is so expensive in the UK, $180-200 for 512mb memory.

I need 2 of the following:

3.3v 168pin 133Mhz SDRAM unbuffered single sided or double sided DIMMs

Any advice please? How much would you expect to pay for such hardware in the USA?

I couldn't tell you how much but I could tell you $180-200 (if you did mean dollars) is pretty good price for sdram at 512mb.

133mhz? that shit is slow for sdram.

I think the price of Sdram has gone up because it's harder to find now.

IDinternet I don't know where you get your hardware from but you are being ripped off.

1GB PC3200 Dual Channel Kit £117
512MB PC3200 £57

OCUK are the best hardware supplier in the UK along with dabs.com

I wouldn't trust them Yanks, they are liable to put some devil spyware or something in it.

Thanks, but that's DDR... I need SDRAM 133Mhz.

For hardware I usually look at ebuyer, scan or dabs. However, they all have similar prices for memory.

haha i would like to sell ou some then.... that is a rip off you can buy ddr for alot less its newer and faster sdram is old crap and shouldnt cost very much

has price listingsWWW.pricewatch.com

Also it doesnt matter where in the world the ram is going it will be compatiable the only thing you gotta worrie about is the voltage settings on a power supply 115 usa and 212 in other spots but that doesnt have any effect on the ram
