If that is your system in your sig, then no. DDR2 memory does not work in DDR motherboards, it won't even fit.

it's even cheaper on mwave.com, but shipping isn't free though. If you plan on buying other stuff, or you would like to buy 2 kits, then mwave comes out cheaper than zzf shipped:

2 kits @ ZZF = $135 shipped (Fedex Ground, or for $136.99 Fedex 2-Day)
2 kits @ Mwave = $132.34 shipped (Fedex Express Saver 3-Day or for $133.78 Fedex 2-Day)

I know just a few months ago it was ridiculous!

Samsung got hit again with around $800m in price fixing fines.

Most states have pending litigation against all 7 of the major memory makers for price fixing as well. Also all 7 have pleaded guilty and paid large fines on a federal level, with the exception of infineon, who pleaded not guilty and lost.

Multiple billion+ dollar fines (when all are combined) seem to be taking their toll.

i would think they should continue dropping, but i read somewhere yesterday that manufacturers are slowing down production, and may stop the price from dropping further.

i just hope they dont go UP

Mwave is out of stock, but Newegg egg has this for $70 shipped if you have some beef with Zipzoom.

I don't really need memory but I am really tempted to buy at these prices.

Well, one of my ST sticks is crapped out. Get constant crashes whenever the one of the pair is in.

So I bit on the black stuff from zzf. Can then rma the ST ram and flip it for $50 or something.

 

[EKKC]

it's 74.90 now.

I have 2GB of the "black label" on its way. My board supports 1.8-2.0, so there's not much opportunity to oc it but I'll report back when I get it.

 

[bamacre]

Prices are back down a bit. OP edited.

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

$68.00 even for the black stuff @ ZZF



I'm out-tha-door w/ 4GB @ $136.00 - Shipped!

Hi, Can I install this 2gb xms with my 1gb (2x512mb) ocz gold ddr2 667, would there be any problem. thank you.

 

[codeyf]

Kind of sad, I found the invoice for my 2gb of ST ram from a couple months ago. When I jumped on it at the then "smokin" price of $126 + $5 shipping!

Could've had 4gb of this what seems to be higher quality XMS black stuff for nearly the same price....

Oh well, my 2gb of ST is going out for RMA on monday.

 

[skytech76]

Help, can someone answer my question? can I use this xms ram with my ocz? thank

 

[bigstrickler]

I think i might be getting these confused but the numbers...4-4-4-12, the lower the numbers the better? or the higher? i cant remember
