OK, cheap obviously depends on many things. But whether you pay half or twice the price of another country is largely irrelevant. > and that doesn't include additional shipping and taxes costs. And my > motherboard doesn't support DDR2 modules, it's a Biostar U8668-D. Which seems to support PC133 or PC2100. PC133 - 128Mb is CHF28, roughly EUR18. PC2100 - 128Mb is CHF25, roughly EUR16. To me that's cheap, but I acknowledge it may not be to somebody else. > And another fact is that computer equipment become obsolete really > fast.

But obsolete does not mean unusable. Intel's Prescott was introduced in 2004. I still run production workloads on machines 3-4 years older than that. My workstation is probably from around 2004 - it may be obsolete, but until it dies, it's perfectly usable. > Finally, it is hard to find a PC 2100/PC 3200 DDR I module here, > mainly because they have become obsolete with the arrive of the new > DDR 2 modules which are cheaper and better than DDR I modules.

It's one of the best places to find older kit at decent prices. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed email security.
