64MB PC133 only 2 bucks.Unlimit order

[beggohbe]

i don't think it really matters if you enter the coupon code when you register AND when you order. the CSR i talked to told me to just make sure i entered it when i checked out. she said if anything goes wrong... just to call back and they'll "take care of it." great CSR's if you ask me... really friendly.

 

[Bad Dude]

Anyone got their RAM yet?

 

[CarpeDeo]

Has anyone even received email confirmation? There's apprx a $50 charge on my credit card, but I don't know if it's from my dsl bill or from the RAM.

 

[unknown]

received shipping confirmation and airborne express tracking number for my order that I placed on 10/31. I just hope that this RAM is decent, although for $2.00, who can really complain.

 

[Bad Dude]

You will complain if you don't get your $50 rebate.

 

[rhong]

I got an email confirmation yesterday entitled: EQUALFOOTING: Your order status has been updated.

It had Airborne Express as my carrier too and the tracking number.

This morning, the ram was sitting at my desk.

Now let's see if the rebate check arrives.

 

[dummjock]

Hey rhong when did you make the order? Ive been waiting over a week now and no ram or no second email confirmation... Im getting a little worried here... My card hasnt been billed yet but I guess thats a good sign???

PS. I WANT MY CHEAP RAM!

 

[VenGog]

I just confirmed with Airborne Xpress, My shipments(Yes! 64 and 128) should be delivered tomorrow! I'll let you know

 

[sirfergy]

Same here! Mine should be delivered tomorrow! Yeah!!! I ordered the 64 and did another order of 64, but have only received (sp) confirmation for one of them.

This will be a sweet deal if it works out.

im seeing another pets.com situation coming up soon here

I got my 64 mb ram today. Pretty cheap packaging, just the peanuts and the ram in the small static bag. I'm having trouble getting it to work though. I stuck it in the second slot firmly and booted up and it didn't recognize it in the startup. I tried several times and it didn't work. I then stuck my 32 mb stick I originally had in the second slot in and it worked fine. The 64 mb stick is now in my 3rd slot but it still isn't being used. Could it be that the "pc133" can't go quite that fast(RAM's at 121 mhz), or something on my part? I've installed ram several times on different computers and never had trouble like this before, any idea what the problem is?

edit: I figured it out, generic ram sucks, thats what. Mine are Nanya chips(ooh, big name), and I guess the 75 is for 7.5 ns? Come on, they said PC133 CL2, so I thought even if it did suck it could do 122 or at least 117 at CAS 2. Nope, so now I'm running 122 mhz at CAS 3. Even my cheapo 8 ns PC100 could do 124 at CL2.

I also got mine today via Airborne Express. There was no packing list inside the box.

The SDRAM is currently working fine in an Ali chip set 100 MHz board. The chips on the module are infineon, or something like that. It says 7.5, which I assume is the ns rating.

All this is moot until I get the $50 for Equalfooting.

 

[SimMike2]

I just checked my credit card and the shipping was over $9. This isn't great, but not too bad, especially if this gets refunded along with the $50.

I have a bad feeling I am going to have to fight Equalfooting for this "rebate." If one thousand people got this deal, Equalfooting would be out $60,000.00. This is not chump change.

 

[CarpeDeo]

You can actually get your shipping refunded too. Just call them up and tell 'em you want your money back for shipping, they'll mail you over a check <or so they claim>.

dummjock: I placed my order on Oct. 31st. I confirmed with the CSR that night at 1 in the morning. My confirmation arrived that day, but the updated order status (shipped) didn't arrive until Monday, Nov. 6th. It was on my desk yesterday, Nov. 7th.

I'm sure that they'd been bogged down with orders, esp. after people realized it was a legitimate deal and started telling their friends. I did my share of that.

 

[TheQ]

Got my SDRAM today. Piece of crap! It doesn't even do PC-100 CAS2 ... only CAS3. The ad says PC133 CL2 ... BS. I'm gonna get them to exchange it.

BTW. the ground shipping from L.A. to San Diego was $16 for a box about 1-2 lbs. whata rip off ...

 

[attention]

TheQ:
Sorry to hear, mine works fine with 133 (Idon't know about the CL though).
As stated here several times, the shipping costs will be refunded to you, just call them.
I got it back (CC) each for the RAM and the keyboards I ordered.

 

[Doug117]

I too ordered this 64MB stick o' RAM last month (Oct 29). The next day, this shows up on my CC statement:

Oct 30 Oct 30 LAMART INT'L BNS. SRVC LOS ANGELES CA $ 61.49

They billed my CC the next day, and added shipping of $9.50 (61.49 - 51.99 ram cost = 9.50!) I have not recieved the RAM, or even a email with the status of the order. Hoping to hear from someone soon!!

<update>
Hahah, like i thought, after I post this, the RAM will arrive. Sure enough, it came today by Airborne express. Just a anti-static bag in the middle of a lot of peanuts. I got the Infeneon 7.5ns Chips on mine. Plugged it into my system, and booted just fine.

Later in the day, got a call from a CSR from equalfooting.com who asked if i got the item ok, and if i had any questions. I told him i got the item, and it was working beautifully. I then asked him about the $50 rebate that I should hopefully be getting. He said that the check was in the mail for me!! Also, he asked me if there was any shipping charges, and i told him yes, they were $9.50. He then said I'll have a second check coming for that amount!! Sure enough, a $1.99 stick o' 64M PC133 RAM!! CSR at equalfooting.com is excellent!! Dont hesitate to give them a call with questions!
</update>

 

[Bad Dude]

Nothing on my credit card yet. No RAM sent yet. How reliable is their online status? I hope I can get the $50 rebate.

 

[satori]

Mine just got in today. No confirmation email. There wasn't even a receipt in the package!! Total worked out to this:

51.99
4.29 s/h (I'm in the Bay Area)
9.50 for Airborne Express

(btw, I'm assuming they charged the $4.29 for tax, since Lamart is located in Los Angeles. But, if they didn't, my shipping would've been $13.29... ouch)

I re-checked my order and it was definitely for ground. Oh well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that EF will still refund the shipping charge.

Anyways, I've got Infineon chips on mine, rated 7.5 ns. Did a search on the infineon site and these seem to be chips for PC133 3-3-3 applications... Here's a link if anyone's interested:

Infineon 64M SDRAM product Guide

So, they >aren't< specified for CL2 apps. I'll test them when I get home, but I'm running a cel600@900, so the only thing I'll be able to confirm is that it runs at CL2 at 100 Mhz.

My roommate's expecting a P3/700 anyday now, so maybe I'll be able to start testing some higher frequencies...

But, the >possibly< good news is that the RAM-roundup at overclockin.com had a bunch of products that used similiar modules. Here's a link:

overclockin.com RAM roundup 2

Anyways, the differences in the modules range from an 8ns rating intead of 7.5 and a letter difference (BT instead of CT). On the test ram that was using Infineon BT-7.5's instead of CT-7.5's, that module hit 143 at CAS2 and 159 at CAS3.

Oh well, hope this helps. Hopefully someone with a real system (unlike mine) will be able to verify these chips.

 

[huh!!]

Got mine yesterday. Dammit I got the Nanya chips. Hope they work out at pc133 cas2.

 

[SimMike2]

&quot;I then asked him about the $50 rebate that I should hopefully be getting. He said that the check was in the mail for me!!&quot; Hmmm, where have I heard that phrase before... This deal won't be done until I get the check and it has cleared my bank account. That being said, it does sound like Equalfooting has good customer service and will come through.

 

[Iilac]

DAMM! I also got the Nanya chips. Are they any good? If not, I gonna return it.

 

[gman98]

Well, I finally got mine today...it was Infineon. There was no invoice, so I guess I'll have to check my CC to see if I was charged shipping, but I'm guessing I will be since others were...
