Corsair PC3200 DDR Ram 1 GB DIMM for 79.00 shipped no tax

[esquared]

Cheapest price I've seen for a 1 GB DIMM of decent PC3200. CAS 3 though, but 79.00 shipped, no tax except for Georgia.

Corsair PC3200 1 GB DIMM


Edit:
One nice thing about Monarch is you can log in and save that price as a quote that is good for 7 days.

Very good. I just ordered a HP (deal listed earlier). My question is this one should fit that, right?

Was that the A64 3500+ deal? If so, yes, this DDR will work.

Has the price not gone up on this recently? Seems the price on the 2x512 Corsair Value sticks have been creeping up.


CAS3 is normal for 1GB value sticks, isn't it? What would be the cheapest CAS 2 or 2.5 1GB sticks? I didn't look around, but noticed Monarch has 1GB sticks of Corsair TwinX 2.5-3-3-6 (on AMD) for $113. Is that worth the extra $34? Anything cheaper?

When the price of the Corsair 2 x 512 MB at Monarch was 79 shipped, this 1 GB DIMM was90 or 91.00 shipped. Now the 2 x 512 has gone uo to 87.00 shipped while this 1 GB DIMM has dropped to 79.00. Go figure.

I know the normal CAS on the 1 GB DIMMS seems to be CAS 3, but CAS 2.5 was always available, just quite a bit more expensive. These seem to be a good price because the cheapest 1 GB DIMMS at Newegg are 83.33 shipped. The cheapest CAS 2.5 at Newegg are Centons for 95.33 shipped. I don't know that I would trust Newegg 100% on the CAS ratings they list. Fry's and Newegg both listed Mushkin's 1GB (2 x 512 MB) Value Ram they've both been selling for between 85-100 as CAS 2.5 Newegg/Mushkin. If you go to Mushkin's website they show the specs as CAS 3 Mushkin's Specs. I think if you want to be absolutely sure on the memory timing specs, go to the mfgs website to be sure. Fry's also listed this same Mushkin as 2.5 CAS and I took it back for a refund a couple days ago. Notice the Mushkin part # 991145.

Thanks OP. Fry's has the same price but their's is after MIR and plus you have to pay sales tax. This turned out to be a better deal for me since I bought 2.

I think I've heard that about the Muskin/Newegg 'scam' from other people as well. I would probably stay away from Centon, and definately spend $113 for TwinX before spending $95 for Centon. Also I'd have to pay tax from Newegg.

With a new dual system, and running XP64, four of these will kick some good @ss!

Thanks for the post - I was in the market for sure - and the price was the best I've seen.

 

[Inappropriate4AT]

I ordered one of these Saturday after shopping around. These were on sale for $64 not too long ago, which I missed out on, so $79 is probably going to be a static price for a while. <-- lol or not

 

[ScrapSilicon]

now $89
