Is it possible to buy ddr pc3200 400mhz ram, i need 2gb of it but i cant find anything of reasonable price, lowest price on aria is £30 for 1 x 1gb stick. Crucial was expensive, theres some on ebay but im wary of buying ram from there as you cant be sure if its genuine.

    EBAY rams genuine. But its more often than not high density ram which wont work in most computers

    The memory from Ebay will not have the Crucial "no quibble" or "lifetime" guarantees.

    Maybe you don't need 2GB. How much do you have now , how many memory slots and what op. system?
    Thing is you are buying into v. old tech.
