[WTB/WFF][UK] SD RAM & AGP graphics
Recently got myself a PowerMac G4/400 Sawtooth, and I found that the company that used it upgraded the RAM in the lazy way. It came with 64MB SD RAM originally, and they just simply added another 3 sticks of 64MB. The ATi Rage 128 Pro 16MB is still in the AGP slot too, which doesn't support Quartz Extreme or Core Image.
So, I am looking for some SD RAM. Must be the full-sized 168-pin RAM sticks, and ECC or non-ECC doesn't matter. Density and how many modules are on the stick don't matter either, as long as the stick isn't more than 512MB.
Graphics card must be AGP 2x compatible, so, it should have two keys in the AGP slot. Anything above a GeForce 2 MX and Radeon AGP supports QE, but I'd prefer a Radeon 9500/9700, or a GeForce 5200/5500, or GeForce 6200. Anything with a reference PCB would be best.
Short version:
Looking for SD RAM, 128/256/512MB sticks.
GeForce 4 Ti4600 / FX5200 Ultra / 6200 (low-profile) AGP / Radeon 9500 (non-Pro/Pro) / Radeon 9700 (Pro preferable)
I've got a low budget, so anything for free would be brilliant, but I know that's basically not going to happen.
I don't mind buying from the US, but only if the shipping isn't too expensive.
I'm not bothered about whether it's got special/dead coolers, or is already flashed for Mac, or if it's still got the stock firmware, I can replace the fan, and I can flash it myself easily enough.
