I am using a Socket 939 MB and DDR memory. My experience is that after 2 GB on this system I can see no performance improvement. I have Windows 7 Forums up with FireFox, usually watching my TV card (UEFA Champions league atm), tracking my mail remotely with a Ubuntu RDC, and other apps like paint.net. I think I have my system close to maxed out and do not see any difference with 2 GB or 4 GB of DDR memory installed. With the cost of DDR, 1.5 to 2 GB would serve well, IMHO.

On the sticker thats on the ram it says
"hunix pc3200u-3030
HYMD26464D8R-D43 WD
512mb ddr 400mhz CL3.0
element dont get your hopes up yet but I may have memory for you if it works. I am staring at 2-256Mb pc3200 out of a dell 8300. I have to throw an OS on it to test so give me a day or so

Not forgetting Robert and everyone else involved of course
I find this situation (OK supply and demand) infuriating.
My finances at the moment leave me stuck with my Socket 939 technology and 1GB sticks of DDR RAM. My MB supports Dual Channel so I need two identical memory sticks to make use of this feature. I scoured the web and found some really cheap 1GB sticks to bid on ... only i have already had to return it once because 50% was DOA. Mostly what I found available was either CL3 (not preferred) or 2GB sticks ECC (not wanted). By measure of the bidding on Ebay, I would say there is a demand for this memory, I can't say about the supply except it would seem all that is left is ECC and CL3.
As noted DDR2 is half of the cost of DDR. So for the price of 4GB of DDR, I could replace my MB, processor, and still afford DDR2 memory. Go figure?
