HOT!! 256MB Mushkin High Performance DDR $54.95 -- DEAL DEAD

[tuan121]

Im thinking of getting the 512 mb of Mushkin "cool" memory from Outpost. Can anyone else confirm that "Cool" means the high performance one?

<< Why not get the 512Mb cool Mushkin chip...Only $119 [$9.00 more, and gives much better upgrade options down the road]

Item#3100000 >>



That's a good option, but I believe it hinders upgrade options in some respects. For instance, I am building a computer for my aunt. Instead of having two 128 meg sticks of pc 133 memory, I have one 256 meg stick. That means, if I choose to give her memory on her computer, I have to slap 256 in it. I would like to give her 128 (all she'll do is internet surf), and take the other 128 and add it to my other computer that is a 200 mhz amd k6 and only has 32 megs. A cheap motherboard/processor and I could have that computer blazing away for my wife. This isn't really a bad thing since I could get a 128 meg stick for $25, but it would make my decision to upgrade the other computer for me. Now, I probably won't spend the money to upgrade my wife's computer.

Yeah, a previous post indicated the price went up $50.........unreal.

I was considering buying this item, because this post seemed to make so much sense, and my order for 2 sticks of the 256 was also on B/O.

I wanted to use the chips in a Tyan Tiger Dual AMD setup. Turns out that the 512mb chips are not compatible with the Tyan mobo, yet the 256 chips are.

So, if you are considering the 512..........better check and make sure it will work in the setup you want it to.

Just a small heads-up!

Just to let you all know you cannot make the vdimm higher than 2.80 or you will destroy the RAM my Epox has the option of going to 3.00 so in that reguard as far as overclocking is concerned Crucial might be a better bet seeing how im at 2.80 right now at 150FSB and am gonna try for more

damn,,got a backordered email from outpost stating that the ram will ship when its back in stock..

 

[youseelabruin]

My new "Cool" Mushkin has heatspreaders. Does that mean it is High-Performance? Luckily I ordered it on the 31st so it was not back-ordered at that time.

 

[FieldTek]

I talked to a CSR yesterday and they had 124 backorders at that time. No ETA for shipping either.

 

[kwatson1]

I ordered the "Cool" 512MB for $119.00 ... Outpost has already shipped. Will let you know what I get..

 

[ftp4you]

mine is backorder also

 

[SpotDancer]

I ordered two sticks of the 256, and it is on b/o.

If anyone who ordered the 256, and receives it - would you please post what type of ram it is........High Performance or whatever. If it turns out not to be High Performance you will be doing us a favor by letting us know, because we can cancel the order.

Thanks in advance!!

I don't have the ram in front of me, but the "Cool" Mushkin I received did not have the "High-Performance" Sticker on it. It just had the heatspreader and the sticker said "Enhanced DDR".

Hope that helps.

 

[kwatson1]

Received my "Cool" 512MB Mushkin RAM today from outpost... [$119]..

It hasa black heat spreader on it... On the heatspreader it says Mushkin Enhanced...

Seems like I got a good deal no matter what it is..

 

[RexTheDino]

It looks like the price went back up to $70

 

[saltedeggman]

order it at 70.00, was hoping that it is the high performance module...

well...i guess i will find out when i receive it...

thx guys

checked status, and its backordered, and no ETA whatsoever

Would you mind posting the what item/model # of the ram is? That way we can all go to Mushkin's website and see exactly what it is!!

Thanks!

Sorry, I picked the wrong item on the last post/quote........I am interested in the 256 chips, not the 512. If you could post the item/model number of the 256 chip I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately Outpost's website does not give the Mushkin item #. I need a 16MX8 memory chip, the 32Mx64 won't work on my board, so I have to be sure what it is I am buying. I need a Mushkin item number.

Thanks anway!

 

[youseelabruin]

Sorry, I don't have the ram anymore as it has been installed into a friends computer and is out of town.

I am not sure where the Mushkin item number is on my 512MB RAM stick... But here is a response from Mushkin tech. support:

========
Hi Kevin,
2.5 3 3 is usually spec we send for those "cool" 512mb...which is our "basic."
However, sometimes we ship the "special" for those, which have spd programmed 2 3 3.
i.e. totally depends on what we have most in stock when filling their orders
& that is the difference between our basic & special.
the hp uses different chip manufacturer, is 2 33 also & adds heat spreader.
what motherboard are you using?

So, she has not answered my question really. Will try to dig further. Don't know where the mushkin item number is and would not even know how to use it if I had it..

 

[SpotDancer]

The manufacturer's item number would most likely be shown on the sticker on the outside of the package, or on the sticker that is attached to the ram itself. I am looking at some Crucial memory, and the sticker on the ram has the item number right on it.

In any event, I would be interested in the 256 stick item number, as the 512 is not compatible with my mobo.

Thanks, anyone!

 

[saltedeggman]

any update?

 

[saltedeggman]

ttt

 

[kwatson1]

no update on my 512 MB RAM.. I have the module sitting here, so if anyone wants to help me use the item number or whatever, I can tell you what they mean by "Cool" RAM...
