HOT - Crucial Memory - Don't BURN Yourself

[GeneT]

Check www.crucial.com for latest price on your memory. Mine dropped over 33% !! Last week the 256mb PC266 DDR SODIMM for my Toshiba Satellite laptop was $78.99. Today, I ordered it for $49.99, FREE FedEx 2day shipping (plus tax)!!! There is a coupon code for an additional 5%. If you search a different Techbargains site (uh, maybe add a .com) for "crucial" you might see it.

I would wait at least another 2-4 weeks before I bougth any more ram. Prices will keep going down for at least another month or so.

I'ld agree with one exception - buy memory with rebates at Best Buy and Cirucuit City (which have 30-day pricematch policies)....

Crucial usually is the leader when memory prices drop. I'm not saying their prices won't drop more, but I wouldn't be surprised if THIS is their BIG drop, not 2 weeks from now like everyone else. Crucial sell 95% online, and they always try to be first.

512 meg of DDR PC2100 dropped about 10 bucks. Another 5% and you should be able to pick up a stick for $85.50. Not too bad.

Beats Newegg by 4 bucks.

 

[m1ke101]

not bad, would be about $50 shipped for a stick of 256mb pc2100 for my toshiba

Damn i remember when i built by first rig in October 2001, I got 2 sticks of crucial PC 2100 for like 60 something shipped (without any rebates). If I remember correctly Crucial did not sell 512 Mb PC 2100 dimms untill november of that year and I figured that they would be cheaper than $80 if i wait a few months. And now about a year and a half later we are finally seeing RAM prices come down to those levels.

 

[cfb44]

don't forget googlegear - $81 for a 512 stick of Crucial pc2100...

I'm looking to get some good ram for the 2100+ tbred b i may be getting. I want to oc like hell, but i dont want spend tons on ram. Is the crucial pc2700 or 3200 good overclocking ram?

googlegear has Crucial 512MB DDR266 PC2100 for $81. When I check the sku at Crucial it's $90 there. But when I look up memory for a Dell 4550 I get another sku. The price and specs are the same, so I can't figure out why they have two sku's.

Bump for a good deal. My Crucial pc2100 does 170MHz at stock voltages on my A7N8X Deluxe. Might do higher, but I think my 1800+ might be flaky (bought it when it first came out).

OC like hell = Corsair....

If you want to just OC, it might be worth a try.

At the most aggressive timings? 222-5-1t??

 

[FoolishMcNasty]

whatever happened to all their 10% off links?

Check out Kingston memory too. Their prices are as good without coupons and without sales tax (in some states). They have free shipping and their memory is top class.

If I enter a Dell 4550 at the Kngston site I get a price of $162 for 512MB DDR266 compared to $90 at Crucial.

Really? Comes up as $89.99 for me. Do a search for CT256126 .

A few days ago I ordered up a standard piece of 256MB DDR266 SODIMM from Kingston for $48 delivered. The Crucial price was over $50, even with the 5% coupon.

Yeah, its so expensive though. I want to get a 512mb of pc2700 or 3200. What fsb could a 512mb stick of corsair pc2700 take?

 

[RobCur]

I have no problem with generic, cheap and just as reliable without the high price tag.

If this is their big drop, then it isnt much of a drop at all

[LilBlinbBlahIce]

256MB for my Dell Latitude is $99. Too much.

 

[MrCoyote]

Last time the prices dropped, I bought (2) 256MB PC2100 DDR for about $60. I'll wait until it gets down that low again.

 

[Moemar]
