My PC has on Mother Board 500MB RAM type: 168 pin 256MB RDRAM RIMM
. . . after looking on E-Bay, it seems 168 pin RDRAM RIMM is both hard to find and expensive :(
Is it perhaps a viable solution to the need for more memory, to find a PCI slot memory-board ? ..........................
google turns up:
GIGABYTE i-RAM memory board - DRAM : DIMM 184-pin - PCI Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Part number: GC-RAMDISK $166.99 . . . these are DIMM 184-pin . . . can this board be used?
thanks
That is a RAMDISK (ie. simulated harddisk). Nothing across the PCI bus can be used as RAM. OTOH, if you want to try to have the GIGABYTE act as really fast swap space, that should work. (Definitely not as fast as real RAM on your memory bus.) Given how cheap MotherBoards are these days you may find it is cheaper just to buy a new MB that works with commodity RAM. Maybe you can even find one that will work with your current CPU, but will allow you to upgrade your CPU as future upgrade.
