$33.xx for 4x256MB Kingmax PC-150MHz micro BGA ram
Lol, where are you getting this stuff?!?
I got LOTS of SDRAM, but only ONE bar of PC-133 cl2!
(Also got 2 bars of 8MB EDO ns-50...but whats the point of a retro rocket with only 16 megs of ram heh 😁).
The V5 is supposed to be working along with the Audigy 2. I have seen some crazy prices on ebay and paid $50 for my first V5 5500AGP on there.
As for the ram, I got it on ebay:

Those are for 2x256MB. He also has a listing for single sticks, but it is a better deal for 2 sticks at a time. Funny thing about this ram is that is not overclocked PC-133MHz ram, and the first few revisions of the ram cannot do PC-150 @ CL2. I have no idea what revisions I'm getting yet, should be here in another week or so.
As I've not been much into EDO memory I have only recently bought 2x32MB Kingston sticks 60ns though, using 1 for my SIMMCONN adapter for my SB AWE64 Gold! Also need to test an old SB AWE32 I have and order some 30pin simms for that.
As my systems go, I'll only go back to a Super7 Jetway board that supports SDRam and EDO slots, will only populate the SDRams though as I have alot of them. Think I could build this system with a K6-2 550MHz I have, a TNT2 32MB (I would use a TNT1 16MB but the enviroment has damaged it 🙁) and a Voodoo 1 4mb. It gonna be on a back burner for some time though as I don't have room to build multiple PC's in cases 😁
