Update!
Just been to a friend's house to get him signed up for broadband. When I got there I remembered I had thought about upgrading his pc to XP (he's on 98) last time I went (about 2 weeks ago). I thought the only reason I hadn't installed XP originally was because of shortage of ram. It turns out it was also because of lack of disk space, so the upgrade never went through. But of course I had taken the ram along just in case...
Now I know I didn't leave the ram there, but it also means I probably didn't put it back in the "safe place". So now it could be anywhere in the house, or even in the car! That's a heck of a lot more places to search, but at least I've actually got somewhere else to search.
Thanks for everyone's help.
And no, Rob, I hadn't been drinking when I first posted, and I hadn't been drinking when I put the memory wherever it is. Though I probably had been shortly after though.
