If you owned any electronic device that had DRAM in it, a price fixing class action settlement could pay you at least $10. Here's how to find out if you qualify.
The settlement includes any individual or business that bought a device with DRAM between 1998 and 2002. The products included are not just computers but other electronics such as graphic cards, DVD players and MP3 players. Filing a claim does not require proof of purchase but "Large claims will likely be required to supply proof of purchases." and "the Claims Administrator may request it at a later time, so save any documentation/proof that you may still have"
The details of how much the settlement pays out are tricky. The FAQ indicate the payment minimum is $10. Larger claims could get a larger settlement. Alternatively, if the number of small claimaints exceed more than 5 million, smaller claims may not pay out (see Question 11). The claim process is simple: tell them how many devices you had between 1998 and 2002, provide your contact info, tell them you are being honest, and click submit. Quick and easy potential $10 or more (or nothing at all).
The deadline for filing a claim is August 1, 2014. If per chance you want to opt out of the settlement in case you want to file suit directly, you only have until May 5th 2014.
