And I am having a lot of trouble knowing what exactly its stats are. I got them from an uncle, who didn't want them, and I dont know where he got them from, so I am trying to figure them out.

Its a Apacer ram, with the chips made by Infineon. 512 MB each, 2 sticks, duel set (As in, they came together).

There are two numbers on it:

P/N:77.1072811A

I think this is the version type? I googled it, and I found that it popped up with ASUS motherboards.

Then there is a S/N:, but it is diffrent for each one. I think this is its unique identifier.

Then there is another line:

512 MB UNB PC2700 CL2.5

I understand the 512MB easily enough. The UNB I dont know. The PC2700, after some reaserch, seems to be a type of ram; I dont know anything about that. I also dont know what the CL stands for.

Now, there is a funny story with this ram; my uncle put them on the computer, but it wasn't compatable or something, and his hard drive was currupted. I dont know exactly how that happened, and I dont want to fry any computer I put these into.

Thanks a lot, you all have been a huge help. I understand computer parts (Not just the software) a lot better now, and I am still learning.

I HAVE RAM.

I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THEN ITS 512 MB.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO USE THE PIN NUMBERS AND ALL THAT FUN STUFF TO FIND OUT ITS STATS.

There you go, understand?
 
Yes, but he didn't know that...

It's PC2700...or you could call it DDR333 (because it runs at 333 mhz)
Look at giant's specs in his sig, he has PC3200, which runs at 400Mhz...

It's most likely 184-pin, which is what you would put in your ASUS board you're getting. But maybe its 160-something pin...iunno

What else did you want to know?
 
Sounds like standard ddr333 ram with a cas latency of 2.5 to me, so should fit in any ddr supporting motherboard i.e. most. Although won't run at the preferred speed of ddr400, supposedly. But tbh it might well run at ddr400 speeds if you raise the cas latency slightly to 3.
