512 MB Kingston PC2700 for $49.99 AR at CC

[Don Vito Corleone]

I know PC2700 is SO last year, but so is my computer! This is $30 or so below market price.

See for someone like me who is so 5 years ago, this is a step in the right direction.

Thanks Don

When I go to the link provided, it shows a price of $89.99 with a line through it, and says "click add-to-cart to see our price". I do so, and wind up with a price of $79.99. What happened to $49.99???

ON EDIT: Okay, I found it. Two separate $15 mail-in rebates. Major pain in the fundament.

Buy 3 and get another $27 back with this....

Do both rebates give you $15 per chip or just $15 off total? I'd like to buy 3 chips for $240 and take off $30 for each chip and do the 10% thing, but I'm not sure if it'll work. I'm looking at the Circuit City $15 rebate and it's 'one rebate per purchase' which I think will work for multiple chips, but the Kingston rebate is limited by each item purchased. Has anybody had any experiences with this? Thanks!

I called both the Kingston rebate center and Circuit City and Kingston has a 1 chip limit while Circuit City has no limit, so you can only get $15 max from Kingston. Just thought I'd fill you in.

Anyone buy these chips for a dual channel motherboard? Reason I ask is they specifically stated on the box "Not Compatible with Dual Channel". What the hell does that mean? How can a memory chip not be compatible? I thought its the motherboard chipset which determines this.

I was under the assumption that "dual-channel" applied to the Rambus memory modules (RIMM). The label on the box reads "Not Dual - Channel Compatible" so I think they are trying to tell you that the memory will not work in boards requiring Rambus. And, depending upon chipset there are both single-channel and dual-channel Rambus architectures.

Is it me, or has RAM prices increased in the past month or so? Everywhere I checked (NewEgg, BB, Crapusa, CC) prices seem to have gone up 10 or 15 bucks. Insignificant post, but I felt like saying something.

you are observant ...bought this last week ...and this week as well ..even the Centon(VData chipped and Prime95 for 2 days and no errors.. ) pc2700 512MB grabbed it as well...

FYI: I just picked up one of these from circuit city. They had 2 of em left, and both of looked like made of Samsung chips. A Samsung pc2700 512mb chip for $50 is a hot deal. I stuck one in and it ran with my older samsung in dual channel mode no probs. I think the timings came out to like 2-3-3-7 at Cas 2.5 @ 333mhz when running in dual channel mode.

one of them 8-10 thru 8-16 and the other one for 8-10 thru 8-16

The rebates printed out with the receipt when I purchased mine.

 

[rasputinj]

better deal is the Centon PC2700 512 DDR for $19.99 in store only

 

[lsman]

this deal is dead? last week.
And the centon MEI are OOS at most stores. They also adjust the price back so match the ads 29.99.

I was running my motherboard @ 166 fsb, and my half-a-year kingston ram just died on me. Is there any kind of warranty that can replace this for me? Anyone have any ideas?

 

[sleepdragon]

Kingston has lifetime warranty, why don't you check out their website and give them a call?
I assume if the stickers on the ram module is still readable they shouldn't give you a hard time..
If you can find the receipt that would help too
