Quad socket board communitarian bulk buy

Just double checked and he currently has 56 kits, all from IBM and manufactured by Hynix or Samsung.

I will be using my rigs to crunch quite a lot, but I will occasionally need them for other things that require more memory.

that's not correct actually. you have to fill all of the first four (dimm0 1~4) and then, if you want, fill all of the second four (dimm1 1~4). that's how mine is.

oh here's the ram i bought, $35 for four gb:

OK. So is there a minimum 4 sticks required or can you use just two?

**shoota** · 06-30-2010, 07:43 PM

hmm. i haven't tried just two. i was told to use all four so i did. is that something you really, really want me to try?

**Sparky** · 06-30-2010, 07:46 PM

No, just curiosity is all. But for those getting memory from Jacka (which is a good deal) they may need to get 2 sets (for a total of 4 sticks) if that is necessary.

Hmm, looks familuar:

Yep that's our seller

**Duh** · 07-01-2010, 05:26 AM

he almost did not make us any rebate considering the amount we bought :S

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 06:04 AM

Previous one he sold went for $141 plus shipping (http://cgi.ebay.com/Arima-AMD-Optero...#ht_2687wt_912).

Not a bad deal factoring in shipping costs etc. As long as they make good on the bad boards of course. I got my dual board from the same seller, which turned out to be a nice little cruncher

Offtopic: Grats on 1000 posts.

EDIT: Just got an email from the seller of the memory saying that he's got a couple of other people interested in buying it. :o

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 11:34 AM

Got another email asking if he'd like me to reserve some kits. :/

Need to get anybody interested in this to let me know ASAP. I'm pretty new to the forums, but if you have doubt of my trustworthiness I can link you to my ebay account and trader rating on other well known forums if needs be.

**Duh** · 07-01-2010, 01:04 PM

no available dough atm

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 01:39 PM

If you'd have the dough any time soon I'd be happy to buy the sticks for you and send them when you've paid.

**Sparky** · 07-01-2010, 02:06 PM

I cannot believe that nobody is taking you up on that... I mean seriously...?

Maybe PM those who got the boards? Maybe they aren't following this thread closely like the rest of us obsessed wackos

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 02:16 PM

Would you be able to make people aware of the deal I can get on the memory Shoota?

Many thanks mate

. ANy ballpark for shipping to the US?

Thanks

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 02:51 PM

Punched in some rough numbers the other day and got quoted £24 ($36). I tried doubling the weight and dimensions of the package and it was quoting the same price.

I imagine it'd be cheaper for me to send 1 package to the US and then somebody send them onwards, but I'm not sure.

honestly these boards are enough admin work for me. just go thru the thread and pm the guys that bought a board.

**Jacka** · 07-01-2010, 04:04 PM

Bah, I just tried sending a PM and got an error saying I can only message 2 people at once.

Here is the list of the usernames I could find for people that bought boards.

Rise; MaxCFM; werdwerdus; MrMojoZ; retro77; metalop1g; Duh;

**MrMojoZ** · 07-01-2010, 05:40 PM

I have enough ram on hand atm. Those eBay 512s x8 were $35 shipped so I have a few sets.

**metalop1g** · 07-01-2010, 09:04 PM

The 8347 disappeared of ebay... At least in canada

You know, I STILL have 8 8347 processors that no one bought, despite claiming that they want it.
