I've seen junkers that used to only pick up anything with any metals other then steel or iron unless it was something really big like an old cast iron bath tub for scrap, they used to just open computer cases and cut the power supply and data wires out. Now I see all kinds of electronics in their trucks as well as occasionally see piles of plastic housings and CRT tubes in alleys.
I'd like to see an X32 version of Mint, so I can have my cake and eat it too.
EDIT: Check out ebay DDR2 is dirt cheap. At least one guy on there has a pretty big stock of G-skill DDR2-800. I know you can find at least 1GB modules, so if you have 4 slots than it could be possible to get 4GB total.Last edited by duby229; 18 March 2013, 10:14 PM.

Otherwise you're right in that it doesn't really matter what it was developed for as it works everywhere.
