Looking for 4x4GB DDR2 desktop RAM

[Sgt_Sykes]

Hi guys,

I have a Gigabyte EP-45 DS5 mobo, Q6600 cpu and 6GB of RAM. I need more RAM and 8 gigs probably won't make much difference so I'm looking higher.

So I was looking for 4x4 gig sets of DDR2 but all I can find is ECC memory for servers which (I presume) won't work in my mobo. Gigabyte lists only one 4GB model as supported fro the mobo - Winchip 64C0MFTHE8G17C.

But this mem is not available anywhere, plus I'm also a bit wary of the brand since I've been using Corsair since forever. But like I said I can't find any other non-server 4GB sticks.

I can't afford to build a new DDR3-based PC right now and the Q6600 performance is completely sufficient for me, I just need more RAM.

Are there any other 4GB DDR2 sticks for non-servers? Could any of the server mems work? Or is there a way to get that Winchip mem? (I also emailed them already and waiting for a reply.)

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks, unfortunately $400 is a bit out there, for that price I can almost buy a new DD3-based system with that much mem. I was more looking for some old stock that someone may be looking to get rid of, or used, or such

hey man I find all sorts of ram on ebay you just have to search a lot of pages. I buy ram all the time from ebay for $10.00 to $20.00 just depends on what it is and how much searching you are willing to do. ddr2 is way easy to find if you look.

If you are still looking,
You missed the 4GB modules by AENEON in the QVL - p/n AXT960UD20-25D
I couldn't find either of these on ebay, or anywhere else.
You could try these (from China, low density [high density seem to be cheaper but used by AMD system - don't buy them for your particular m/b])

There other sellers (from China) as well with slightly different descriptions, I don't think it's server memory

hey all,

server memory will not work. if you search ebay ddr2 memory is cheap cheap. don't buy the first you see go to the back pages and search you will find some good deals if you are willing to take the time and search. when you find a good deal jump on it because it won't last long. good deals never do they go fast.
what you have posted above in my opinion you can find way better deals than at those prices. buy used memory sticks not new ones. buy from sellers in the usa screw china as you may get what you order when they decide to send it or it finally passes through customs. never bought any bad memory sticks off ebay so just do some searching and go for the buy it now price and screw the bidding unless you have the time to wait.

life is good.
