I thought that said GB for a second. Crazy how tech has evolved over these past few decades

This was hot stuff in the mid-90s I know I used one and yes I’m that old
Hardcore_Cal
Ok, but you should see what happens if you use that lifetime warranty

72 pin? Whoa.

College 1997, buddy of mine got a PC built for graphic design degree. Paid something like $600 to upgrade to 64 MB of RAM.

That and an 8x CD-ROM will get Full Throttle running smooth.

Thought this was a box of condoms at first

Is this DDR1 or something entirely different?
Reddbearddd
That was probably hundreds of dollars in the 90s.

I remember getting this exact ram upgrade for our family PC so I could play quake. Me and my dad watched the VHS tape and did the installation. Good times.

Lifetime warranty, you should try it.

I still remember the pay phone conversation I had with my mom where I convinced her to let me get ONE more megabyte of RAM (DOUBLING my memory) for $500.

NGL…this box looks like it would have a dildo in it

That was a LOT of money back in the day.

I can hear the hard drive clicks in the distance. That’s the sound of raw speed

That would have been the shit back in the day.

I remember buying that memory module on AOL, I went from just under 4MB to 12MB of RAM and could finally play Doom. It was $80 or so and directly billed to the phone bill, my parents disconnected AOL after that one.

There was a time in the early to mid 90s that would have cost $400. In 1990s money.
This being a single module may very well be from the 486 era, as Pentiums were a 64 bit bus, so “dual channel” (though not with nearly the pickiness on modules, and you HAD to use both). In 1997 or so they changed to DIMMs (hence the D…been that way ever since).
And, better days. These products had margin on them. Meant they could field 7 day tech support in in the US that probably paid good wages. My roomate in the 1996 timeframe had a part time job at Dell doing support and the pay was pretty good for someone of that age.

You should call up PNY and ask about a replacement with the warranty lol. Just to see what they say, I’d be curious 🤷🏻♂️😅
