SD RAM cant be 533 MHz, if its 533 MHz means its DDR-II and possible that 4 year old computer may have DDR-II

so make sure its an SD for sure, use CPU-Z to check...

SD are available, but I doubt finding about a 512 MB stick !!! :lol:

It should be 133MHz SD RAM not 533MHz, they're DDR-II RAM. The price for the 256MB SD RAM will be Rs.750 (approx.) and Rs.1300 (approx.) for 512MB.

I checked my machine using CPU-Z and found that the RAM is 256MB DDR - 166.7 Mhz. Now please let me know incase i plan to upgrade my RAM, will i get a 512 MB / 1GB stick ?
Do the clock speed of the new RAM have to match with the existing one ? Please let me know

That means it's a DDR333 module, also called PC2700. The clock frequency is 166.7 MHz, but since it's a DDR (double data rate) memory, it is effectively working as if it's running at 333 MHz. What may be confusing to some is that DDR RAM is a special type of SDRAM and may be tagged as DDR SDRAM.
Now please let me know incase i plan to upgrade my RAM, will i get a 512 MB / 1GB stick ?
I recently bought some 512MB DDR400 (200/400MHz) sticks @ 800/-.
Do the clock speed of the new RAM have to match with the existing one ?
In most cases, no. If you install two or more RAM sticks of different speeds, they will all run at the speed of the slowest one. However, there are occasional cases where they can cause stability issues, especially when they are run in dual-channel mode. Personally, I have never had any problem using RAMs of different speeds in single-channel mode.

Like pimpom said some DDR ram is tagged as DDR SDRAM, did you mean that or the old 133Mhz SDRAM is available at the price that you mentioned?

If its 133Mhz SDRAM and at those prices, then give me the shop's address and phone number immediately! I've been searching for a 512Mb or 1Gb SDRAM for so long. We bought 2 * 256 Mb 133Mhz SDRAM for a pc at work and it cost us over Rs.2000. This was in dec. 2007. If there's 512Mb of SDRAM for Rs.1300 toh mujhe toh jaise ali baba ka khazana mil gya :D

IMO 512MB DDR 333 isnt vailable anywhere here. But you can get DDR 400 which is about 1.2k. I dont think its 800 bucks anywhere.

@MetalheadGautham - My source is located in Secunderabad.
Dynet DDR400 512MB - 800/- (2 months ago. Thouroughly tested several modules with memtest86). 1GB is 1375/- (current price, not bought or tested yet)

I'm in one of the most remote parts of India but I have contacts in several cities. I don't want to make their details public unless I've talked to them first because I don't want to be responsible for swamping them with silly requests and enquiries. I'll discuss it with the company first and let you guys know.

@karaTh85 - I don't know if DDR333 is still available, but even it it is, the price difference between it and and DDR400 will be minimal.

@Pathik - see my reply to MetalheadGautham above.

OK, I've talked to the company and they said it's ok if I give their contact info here:

Bhumika Computer Peripherals, Secunderabad.
Ph: 040-66385794, 66382286, 64562421
bhumikacomp(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)in

Please note that they deal mostly with over-the-counter sales, but they will probably be willing to ship too. They have shipped to me but I had to work out shipping arrangements with them first.

And please, for my sake, contact them only if you want to make serious mature enquiries.

It's up to you if you want to use them or not. No one's twisting your arm.
but is it good enough for non OCed P4 ?
Why not ? I'm using two of them in one of my computers, an A64 3000+, and they passed testing with memtest86-3.4 for 3 hours with flying colours.

Other samples of their prices -
LG DVD writer - 1100/-
AMD AM2 4800+ - 3225/-
Optical mouse - 100/-
160GB Seagate SATA - 1900/-
Transcend 1GB DDR2/800 - 975/-

These are prices of 2 months ago, inclusive of taxes. Compare them with IT Wares prices.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that online shops like IT Wares, apparently operated by sincere people, have come up. But I find it baffling that online sources in India, whether it's eBay or single shops, are always more expensive than "real" shops. In western countries, online shops almost always offer lower prices because they are easier and less expensive to manage, needing fewer workers, no high rent in a strategic location, no fancy showroom or a public counter.

I inquired in Nehru PLace today. 1 GB modules are not available. Only 512MBs are available at that too at an unbelievable high rate of Rs. 1400. I changed my mind to upgrade my older system. :(

And Nehru Place is supposed to be THE place for computer hardware, with the possible exception of Lamington Road in Mumbai. Why don't you try my source in Secunderabad ? They are only a phone call away. When they sent the wrong item once by mistake, I returned it and they sent a replacement without fuss.

Sorry I coudn't reply due to a power cut :mad:
Anyway, even here in SP Road, which is similar to Nehru Place and Lamington Road, DDR400 is quite expensive. I was hoping to find somewhere in bangalore where I can get it that cheap.

Please help. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=886939&postcount=3817

And are those prices of your dealer still the same ? In my openion, all prices are average and equal the commonly seen price in SP Road & Co. But DDR 400 ram is damn cheap.

Do they ship the product via mail ? RAM is just ~50 Grams right ? Shouldn't it be easy to ship it ?
