I work in IT, so will have a look around the office - we usually have bags of old stuff lying around... you may be lucky! Might take me a few days...

Thanks, much appreciated!
Stuck in hospital just now, so can't do much for a few days!

These machines are usually given to me when replaced. They are very often sold at minimum spec, and topping out the RAM can significantly improve performance. Also, it's fun, and they are saved from just being binned. Far too many computers are not fully utilised. I am the @SkipdiverJohn of computers!Can't help with the Ram, but I wondered why you want to renovate rather than getting new machines?
Hope you get well soon.

I have some DDR 2 ram that falls between the specs you mention PC2-5300 but not in the sizes you want.

You'll have a bit of time in hospital to fix 'em up anyway. I upgraded our laptop with a 1TB SSD whilst I was in - copied over the main drive, swapped them round and fitted the second HD (big laptop with space for 2 drives) - I had all the bits out on my hospital bed table - not like I was going anywhere.

Quite possible! But would prefer do it at home.
Going to escape from here for a few hours later.
