Looks like RDRAM which is pretty fast RAM though not all machines support it. You might get $20-$25 per card.
 
Yeah, looks like a pair of 64 MB PC600 RDRAM sticks. EBay would be a good source of what you might get for them. If they were PC800 you'd probably be able to get a better price. There aren't too many companies making computers that use RDRAM anymore (actually none AFAIK), but still a lot of computers that use them still in operation (I have one at home).
 
Thanks for the reply -job- and imabug appreciate it:smile: RDRAM aye I am wondering how much would i get for it here in New Zealand:rolleyes:

Thanks again
Jake
