Thanks.

Educate me please. Both these Corsair deals are rated at 667 but one is 5300 and the other is 5400. What gives? Sorry for the lack of knowledge.

I've often wondered the same thing.

Retarded marketing labels. They're the same thing AFAIK. I believe 5300 is actually correct, as it should go PC2-4200, PC2-5300, PC2-6400, PC2-7500, etc. to make the +1100 consistent. I stopped looking at those numbers and just look at clockspeed.

Is it just me, or is the XMS deal killer?

 

[jlbenedict]

When did memory prices drop so drastically?
I know just a few months ago it was ridiculous!

 

[superHARD]

the xms is now $107 shipped $2 drop in price

 

[deepinya]

xms- 107
or
Buffalo FireStix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2-6400) Desktop Memory FSX800D2C-K2G- 120

which is the hotter deal?

Yeah, I remember when that same RAM might have been closer to $300. I heard that there were issues with price gouging though.

Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered two gigs. The slightly more expensive stuff is "4-4-4-12", and two day FedEx shipping is only $1.99 (free shipping if you're willing to wait for ground delivery).

I've mentioned this here before, but heres the link about the big 4 memory manuf getting busted for price fixing and are now sleeping in the greybar hotel

And I might mention that the Corsair rebate routine has given me one of the worst experiences of that kind. I bought some XMS 6400 and the Corsair 620W PSU from ZZF almost three months ago, a $20 rebate on the PSU, and a $50 rebate on the RAM. They "lost" the RAM rebate, and have acknowledged the PSU rebate and emailed it was "sent", but nothing yet. So I called about the RAM rebate (after 2 months) and they made me go to ZZF to get a copy of the old rebate form and fill it out. I must say ZZF was very helpful and friendly and emailed the form which I faxed with my invoice to Corsair. The lady at corsair was also very friendly and helpful, and said she was going to "expedite" that RAM rebate, but its still a big ZERO. So any rebate over $20 on Corsair item, I will buy some other brand..

Maybe I should add two more gigs to get up to 4gigs for Vista 64bit.
edit: I'm currently using 2GB on Windows XP Pro, would I see a large difference doubling my RAM to 4GB and moving to Vista 64bit?

Depends on what you do. Most likely not, but if you do some heavy video editing, photoshop, or something like that, maybe.

BUT, with memory so cheap, it may not be a bad idea.

 

[f4phantom2500]

hey the XMS is only $78 shipped now! I just grabbed a pair (even though I already bought the kingston valueram from fry's lol...hey 4 gigs for $150 who can complain?)

It is actually cheaper to get the XMS. Link in OP @ $78 shipped.

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

he said 2 day shipping- - in other words- $78+ $1.99 for upgrade to 2day=$79.99.

Oh I see.

Still, and I updated the OP to reflect this, the XMS with Platinum heat spreaders is now $78 shipped.

didn't they get sued for price fixing or something?

anyways at this rate we'll need to switch to 64bit os soon!

 

[formulav8]

Edit-

5300 Rating = 667@555 Timings
5400 Rating = 667@444 Timings??
5400 Rating = 675 Mhz Clockspeeds. More than likely this is correct and not the timings.


Thats at least my understanding.

theres no way these are micron d9's right?

what about these?
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=85025-6

trying to source some cheap guaranteed micron d9's - a lot of rebates have gone down from many places so zzf has the lowest atm with ballistix 2gb @ 120 AR
