Actually, most of my stuff is actually DDR2 too--I realize I've been working on getting my DDR3 systems into production.
I just started doing some gaming again after a 16 year hiatus, I never finished Ghostbusters 2009 and currently enjoying Doom (2016)Actually, most of my stuff is actually DDR2 too--I realize I've been working on getting my DDR3 systems into production.
2010 configuration was GA-MA770-DS3 with Athlon x2 5000+ 2 gig of ram, GT-8800 and a Raptor 36 gig hard drive under XP.
2026 is upgraded to dual boot XP & Win10, SSD drives, 750Ti-2GB and 8 GB of ram.
Next is a PCI-Express SSD card for just the games, a quad core 3.2 GHZ CPU and maybe a GTX 960-4GB.
Maybe on the last part; 960 is the last Nvida board supported under XP 32-bit but the amount of video ram may or may not be an issue for the 32 bit OS.
Been playing Doom 2016 and Quake Dawn of the Machine under Win10 which frankly I loath. Getting rid of Microsoft Defender is virtually impossible and I despise it will randomly steal 25% system resources which for an airgapped PC I find unacceptable. When I have a free moment I'm going to load Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and see if both will run, I know Quake will be Doom might not, only one way to find out.

Old fart giveaway! Various laptop rams, SDRAM, DDR and DDRII/PC2 ram.
Free for the price of shipping from 06370 though if some kind soul has a M.2/SATA drive as pictured I could use one for the USB enclosure I have.
Something in the 128/256GB range would be ideal; I had a 256GB from my daughters laptop upgrade and ended up using it as a secondary drive.
Edit: I have some CPU's and some other stuff I'll add in a day or two.
Ram spoken for!!

I have some in 128gb, will send a pm in a bit.
Long shot (again) - does anyone have PSU cables for CX750M? The grey label. Only have the PSU and lost all the cables. Amazon seems filled with generic cables, and I can't make sense for Corsairs cable table to see what cables I actually need and they are just stupid expensive and just worth buying a new PSU at that point.
Sounds like me, except with DDR1 and DDR2 hehe. I still don't have anything running DDR4 yet.

I'm only slighty ahead of you guys as I only dove into DDR4 last year. Fortunately, it was right before prices jumped up.

Just pulled this from my card to go back to Air cooling. I know it's kind of for a specific card... so, If anyone wants it, I'll take a beer. 
If anything it's very shiny.
Bykski A-XF6900XT-X with backplate. Will need pads.

Not needed anymore. Anyone have a phone for cheap/free. s9 or better for US Mobile on Verizon network?
EDIT: Just looked at swappa.... omg why are they so expensive, i guess long shot request.
EDIT2: Min requirement of tracker is Android 11.
EDIT3: Feel free to PM me with some out of box ideas.
Edit4. In case google or ai finds this post. The stock android on s9 only went to 10 so it wouldn't work. I ended up paying too much for a used Samsung Galaxy A15 5G . Slow but compatible version of Android. Plus she said she wanted a bigger screen.
Thanks for all that pm'ed me.

Cost of shipping unless you feel like tossing in a few extra:
Xonar DG - Works fine, no longer have a particular need for it
HIS Radeon 6850 box and case sticker
Logitech Xtreme 3D Joystick - Spring is removed but will be included (it's simple to put back in but, a little annoying)
Logitech Wingman 2 Attack - Works but is a bit finicky if I recall correctly, USB
BenQ XL2411P - Works but has retention issue. If you run fullscreen stuff I don't think it manifests but it's been a long while since I used it. The taskbar or similar bright and set UI elements will leave a line of brightness if they sit in place for a long time.
Microsoft Natural Elite (white) x2 - One with box, practically new, other without

What does the DC input jack look like? I suppose you could rig up something with This that is if you have the appropriate USB C charger/power supply of course

Anyone have some 72-pin EDO simms laying around? I picked up an old compaq pentium 166 with 4 slots, currently has 8mb on board and 2x 8mb, for a total of 24 Mb. That's plenty for what I plan to use it for, but more ram would make it easier to pxeboot stuff while I'm figuring out how to set things up.
Also looking for some AOL 3.5" disks (or really any 3.5" disks... A couple here and there would be super handy... All I have are 5.25" double density for my apple ii, but that doesn't help)

I have a p3-933 i might be scrapping, I'll see what it has for ram today. I have some 3.5" discs, not aol though.
No ram I'm afraid but I have a pile of CD's and floppys to give away. Some CPU's as well but I have to go through them.
LOL! Going through the pile found a newer CPU that is faster and has more cache than current one in "gaming rig" games like it a lot! Poor video card just being bottle-necked for dear life. Quad core next month.

hmmmm, I'd actually adopt the sound blaster 3.5" set
No promise it still has original software, I'd recycle floppies without a second thought.

Socket A's and maybe some LGA 775's? What you got, might be interested...
Yes to both. The thunderbirds I might throw up on Ebay, looks to be worth my trouble maybe.

Which of 775's do you have CPU wise? I have a ton of Athlon XP chips myself as well, tend to go for Barton cores, works great on a KT333 chipset and still supports Voodoo AGP cards
I'll try and list tomorrow.Which of 775's do you have CPU wise? I have a ton of Athlon XP chips myself as well, tend to go for Barton cores, works great on a KT333 chipset and still supports Voodoo AGP cards
1) The CPU's I'm giving away, the Socket-A stuff I'm going to list in my sale thread for a few bucks, just another to cover quad core upgrade for current retro gaming rig.
2) Floppies have been separated and spoken for, the Sound Blaster ones have been set aside for another board member if they want them.
