most cash spent on memory...

I remember selling 4 1mb sticks for £115 second hand. When i took the massive leap to 16mb!

Started out with a 486 sx 25 with 4mb ram and upgraded to a pentium overdrive 83 mhz with 16mb - and wow did that thing fly!

I think the most I spent, would be about £80 for 256kb and I do mean Kilobytes

People talking about Gb of memory might have mis understood the thread - spending £100 or so pounds on Gb of RAM isn't really that bad, I think OP had the early 90s late 80s in mind!

Said what is the most you've spent, posters deliver.

£123 on 2 x 512 MB Corsair PC2-6400 in Nov 06.

£159.99 on 2gb of ocz platinum pc3200 back in 2006. my current stuff cost £113.00 for the first 2 gig in may 07, second set a few months later was £27.00.

My first proper pc was a pentium 120mhz. As i remember the ram was i think 16mb and cost about £350!! :eek:

( the p133 had just been released so the price of the p120 dropped i was gonna get a p100 originally ) looking at google it must have been about june/july 1995 when i bought it all. As i remember ram prices at the time were on the upward spiral.

Also had a 1.2gb hard drive that cost the earth also, i must have been mad.

Steedie · 14 Jul 2008 at 13:36

I know someone who spent something like £15,000 on a Mac. Price was so high because it included 16Gb of RAM. He needed it for his line of work though, whatever it is.

A cluster would probably have cost less than half that lol.

hell a windows/Linux/etc workstation would have cost half that, with better memory too.

Rilot · 14 Jul 2008 at 13:51

Oh you people are so, so young.
I paid £400 for a 64kB upgrade for a Commodore 64
Also on my list of expensive memory was a 512kB upgrade for a Commodore Amiga A500. That was also the princely sum of £400 and was massive. About the size of a modern HDD.

I've also paid in the region of £500 for a 20MB HDD.

My buddy has a 8kbit piece of ferrite-core memory for something very old. Cost around the £5k mark.

swanseajack · 14 Jul 2008 at 13:56

Around £60 for a 16k ram pack for a ZX81 back in the day.

Mark A · 14 Jul 2008 at 17:44

Think I paid around £100 for a 1gb Geil value dual channel kit 3 years ago. Cant believe how cheap ddr2 ram is :eek:

mysticsniper · 14 Jul 2008 at 18:03
