[ScrapSilicon]

[AAjax]

Man, that is sweet! Cant wait to see if it hits 50 sumthin again

 

[venk]

isnt that about the normal price for genarics?

 

[Lanyap]

Yes, it appears to be slowly dropping. It's about time.

 

[yhelothar]

i bought that ram before.. it's 7.5ns generic chips..
i ran it at 166MHz and it would sometimes crash..

Yeah, by the time that stuff is 50 bucks, crucial will be 20

buffalo isn't expensive. 15% cheaper than crucial pc3200 or thereabouts when comparing newegg prices.

 

[rseiler]

The straight Kingston pc3200 512 (the one comparable to Crucial) continues to be $80 going in through the "boost" promo link. The Crucial pc3200 part, almost $10 more discounted, is constrained (Crucial is even out of stock) so don't look for the price to go anywhere but up.

i forgot if i got my Crucial 2700 512mb $60 shipped from mwave but it sure was a good deal and i got 2!

about a year ago.

 

[Samus]

i've had such bad luck with crappy ram as of late i'm going to stick to buying crucial and mushkin, the two name brands i've purchased from, and never had a problem with. i'm going to give corsair a whirl when i build my athlon64 box sometime in the near future. i hear corsair has awesome registered memory (performance:reliabilityrice)

 

[toshipics]

good price for 512 3200 ram . I have already used all the slots on my mobo. Can't add anymore.

 

[FreakyGuy]

MWave is a top notch vendor. I bought some ram and a motherboard from the a couple years ago and it was very prompt.

 

[Johnbear007]

So how do you think this generic stuff willl perform? I already have some crucial 512 pc3200 but want a gb and crucial is just too high right now

 

[QuicknDirty]

You can get a lifetime warranty on that for $5.99 more...seems like that might actually be a good idea. If it craps out later, you're covered.

QnD

 

[EXman]

Mwave does use some ghetto ram i.e. Elixir I remember last year a 512 2700 stick went own $10 every week on Mwave for 3-4 weeks down to $53 for 512mb. Heck even if it runs its rated speed if it gets below $60shipped that is pretty hot.

 

[Johnbear007]

After adding in 5.99 for the warranty and + shipping you almost have enough for the buffalo, so I dont think this is really that hot. if it were 62 shipped with a lifetime warranty it would be hot however yuour basically just buying yourself up

 

[breweyez]

seems like every year the ram prices dip around this time...im sure they will start rising after the holidays:frown:

Free is good. However pc2100 is far to slow for any newer PC if you are overclocking, and 256mb is too little for me.
