Alright, so I got a computer off of craigslist for free, and it has a Pentium 4 1.5 ghz, and only 512mb of memory. I figured, shit memory can't be that expensive... so I start looking, and come to find out, it's going to cost $420!

Why is the PC800-45 memory so much more expensive? And that's only for 2 GHZ...

Dude. PC800 is RAMBUS. It is kind of similar to the VHS/Betamax or the HD-DVD/Bluray war. RAMBUS lost. That's why it's so expensive; it's basically a collectors item.

Use the PC to run a free distro of Linux or something.
