Rdram board

Can I use SDRAM in an older RDRAM board?

It's an old dell (dimension 8200)

No, it still would require Rambus.

RDRAM is a failed experiment...those who are stuck with that type of memory...good luck.

A friend of mine has a DELL, with RDRAM AND Windows ME!!!! :eek:

Talk about 3 strikes you're out!! :D

The funny thing is however, outside of his occasional errant ways roaming the internet unprotected with outdated A/V's etc., and getting infected, he has not had one bit of system trouble what-so-ever.

They still sell RDRAM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=RDRAM&x=0&y=0) if you can afford it, but I don't have enough time to pan for the gold needed if I wanted some...:rolleyes:
