- the 90s laptop only has 256 mb of ram in it, and that's not enough to run an html5 aware browser (which is required for youtube, nowadays). it can take 1 gb. so, i got 4x512 gb (to max it + a backup) for $10 a piece. and, then i'll have my tv back, along with a phone.
- i got 4x128 gb of sd ram as backup for the windows 98 pc. $10 each.
- 1 got 4x1gb of ddr2-800 as backup for the windows xp pc. $10 each.
so, that ended up being $120 + $20 for shipping. i had to pay the $20 shipping regardless, so it made sense to get it all at the same time.
and, hopefully, that's enough old ram to last me for the next 20 years...
it's a one-off thing and i've got the cash now so let's do it.
