If you want these, I'd keep an eye on the page today. They will probably restock as the ETA says, but then again, they may go quickly. On the other hand, maybe not.... who knows?


But, like I said before, don't depend on the email notification......you may receive it to only find out it's OOS already by the time you get it.

I waited all day last time it had an expected date (2/26), and they were never restocked, so don't expect them to get these in anytime soon. If you check out Buffalo's website they are OOS as well, and I'm pretty sure their website will have them back in stock before newegg.


Well, I'm waiting to get a second set to get to 4GB.....but I just noticed the ETA date has disappeared. Dammitalltohell!!!!

Pardon my francais!

OK, I ordered my pair. Now I need to buy a C2D, Mobo and I am all set. I hope these are still D9GMH under the heat spreader.

Now do I wait until April for the C2Ds to come down in price or do I jump on the 4300 and OC the hell out of it?!?!?!?

If you're not going to get your system complete before april, why would you order the memory today? I'm not criticising in any sense, just trying to assess if buying now makes sense. Because i'm in the same boat as putting together a new C2D system. Wouldn't these sticks be cheaper in April?

When I built my Opty 165 system, memory was at an all time low. 1 GB of Corsair was $65 or so. The following months it shot up to the low 100s. Memory fluctuates. It is basically like buying a stock.

The only bonus is memory also keeps it's value more than most any other component. I picked up the Firestix today b/c I have a good shot at getting a very good overclockable chipset for less than the current market price.

Will it go down, who knows? Will Buffalo change the chips? These are risks that I figure I am willing to take. Now the question is do I have the will power and impulse control to wait until April for the new C2Ds and the price drops?

Buy it now. Last time this stuff didn't last a day. I'm on the same boat as you, going to wait till April for my C2D and 8600 but mem prices shouldn't go down much more.
210 shipped because of the tax, but if this can hit 1000mhz, i'm happy.

The Buffalo's use Micron, the ones you linked cost MORE and use Elphia chips

There's a $50 rebate on the patriot though. It comes down to 175 versus 190. I know they are both good clockers, everyone rave about them, but is the $15 difference worth it?

No, at least for me waiting 8 weeks and then calling tech support just to get your 15 dollar rebate is not worth sending in a rebate.

EDIT: Hot deal on this ram... it was a tough choice for me between this and the Super Talent.

Good to know about Newegg....heard it'd been pretty hit-or-miss so far on the Ver. 3.3 from them.

v3.3 is shipping from their NY warehouse...

haha, I see what you mean. When was this first available? Did you get yourself a pair? Apparently on HardOCP someone said they only had 20 pairs to begin with on this shipment...
