And you thought the Crucial 256MB PC133 CAS2 was cheap?

[w74656]

Did you just order the Crucial module online for $94.99? Here's somethin' to make you regret what you did:Q! And for those who are thinking 'bout it, think twice!

Found KINGMAX 256MB PC150 CAS2 for $90 at Upgrade Planet
Here the link, only one per customer though.

If you never heard of this stuff, here's a review of it compared to other PC150 RAM.

Buy it now if you want it, all other retailers sell for $120-$160, dunno if this if going up or not.
If you get it, tell me what you think.

 

[tryanasaurus]

WOW, Now that's some RAM !!!!

 

[w74656]

Looks good too, with its Tiny BGA format and low profile. Oh yea, did I mention that

PC150 CAS2 = 6ns Modules, good for PC166 @ CAS3 and more if you give it a little more juice

 

[Yuniverse]

you talkin' to me? are you talking to me?

dang.. i just bought the exact crucial ram for that price just an hour ago.

 

[w74656]

sorry pal, can't you cancel the shipment? get a refund? price match?

Knew I should have posted earlier, I saw this deal 2 days ago.

 

[Packy]

Jeeze, for that price I think I'll snag some even though I don't even need it. My girlfriend is gonna take away my credit card someday

 

[N8Magic]

Awesome deal! I'm in for one!

" Here's somethin' to make you regret what you did ... "

Are you thinking what I am thinking ??

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

no, what are you thinking

 

[ViRoTeK]

hmm..
doh!

 

[junthin]

Wow! What a nice deal!

However, don't forget about the shipping cost here.

 

[Deathgame]

Nice deal....Must....not.....take.....out.......credit card......to.....buy.......
SO tempting..........

 

[dingdongdingdong]

dang my mobo already have 1gig of memory other why i am going to get another one

 

[Kingofcomputer]

I'd still buy Crucial.

 

[Tarkus]

Great find, but how do you know it's Kingmax? I didn't see a reference on the website.

 

[maddmaxx]

OK....dumb newbie question!!! If I ordered that memory will it work with the memory that I already have (256 MG's pc133)???? Does the memory size have to match any more???? Thanks for being kind to a dumb A** newbie!!!

peace

 

[yodayoda]

yikes, that self-deprecating comment was a little over the top....

 

[maddmaxx]

ok..sorry.....didn't mean to beat myself up!!!! Just feel a little like a small fish in a HUGE ocean!!! Thanks for any help to my question!!!

peace

 

[gnouh]

Has anyone gotten the memory yet. Is it working very well. Also, i have never heard of this company "UpgradePlanet". Is this company reliable.

You better fix that link unless you want Kenneth's info all over the web. Otherwise an incredible deal. Anyone know what shipping to CA is?

 

[XGamer]

I dont see how there is much to regret. If you check out some benchmarks, you will notice pc150 isnt much better than pc133, if at all..... Notice they didnt acctuly show the FPS in games? Heh.. And the kingmax is Cas3, not cas2. You might be able to set it at cas2 90% of the time. But there is a reason its not set at cas2, its because they beleive its not guarenteed. Not saying your find isnt good, seems like a good price for it. Just to let you all know though, you should search the web for this ram, that is about the regular price it goes for...Not really much of a deal. Maybe about $7 off. Check pricewatch guys...Upgrade is about $7 cheaper than the rest, but there are alot of sites with it around $95-110. Prices all have downarrows to, which means they are all still dropping....

i like fast ram. I bought hsdram and sold it after a month. didn't make all that much difference. Now if this stuff would run at cas222 at 150fsb, then hell yeah. This is a good price point, but I already have 1.5 gb of ram btw my three main machines. what i need is ram for my classic II and se/30.
bump for a good price for those that can get their processors to work at 166FSB.

[XGamer]

Yeah I got hsdram myself. Your right, it doesnt make much of a difference with average users. You can tell a big difference when you get into 3D animation, photoshop, studioMAX etc.. I am also currently trying to sell my hsdram on e-bay . $250 for 256mb if anyone is interested. It is still selling at $98 for 64mb. So its quite a discount off..

 

[Poochy]

If anyone has purchased & received this module, can you confirm that it's indeed low-profile? If so, this will make my 1U rack case very happy . Thanks.

 

[boggsie]

I'm confused ... I don't see any reference on the Upgrade Planet web page to this being Kingmax Tiny BGA. How do we know this is what we're going to get?
