this is about $9.00 more compared to the Centon at Compusa that is $60.00 per 512mb -$30.00 rebate, so $63.00 after rebate for 2 x 512mb ($3.00tax)

I am gonna retunr the 2 x 512mb i got from Compusa, and get this.

that fact that this is 1gb sticks instead of 2 x 512mb and there is no rebate, makes it more than worth paying $9.00 more per gb.

now i can have 2 x 1gb im my Asrock 775-VSTA rig instaed of only 2 x 512mb.

And the fact that it's Kingston. Centon is generally pretty slow and not very reliable.

would there be any problems installing this in a dell that uses PC2-4200 RAM? Could i not just underclock the RAM? Its a Dimension 3100.

According to this link http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-memory-1024-KVR667D2N5/dp/B0009JR82UOffice Depot sells RAM 2 (above)for $74.95.

I think it should be ok but I am not sure, anybody knows if this is backward compatible?

 

[BigShroom]

Cool, this should go well with my planned e4300 build. Need to wait for my tax return though

 

[niji1875]

compatible ? a problem.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I am not too familiar with DDR2. If I just want a simple HTPC based on the Abit NF-M2 nView and say an X2 3800+, and I want to run at stock speeds only, do I *need* PC6400 or is PC5300 the spec? Thanks! I am not sure when PC6400 is required -- only for OCing?

Literally, you don't even have to think about the speed of RAM if you will run at stock. The BIOS will be automatically adjusted based on SPD of RAM. So, PC5300, even PC4200 will be fine for stock running.

A really big Thank You to the OP. I'm in for two.

 

[Crucial]

DAMNIT! I just bought 2 512mb DDR2 667 for $105. I could have had 2GB for only $30 more. DAMNIT!!

 

[sky2002]

Same here.
I bought the Corsair TwinX 2GB a couple weeks ago for $205 after $30 rebate.

man... should have waited.

 

[Trianon]

Jumped on this Planned on getting another stick of Crucial ValueRAM, but this is 20$ off, so I got 2!!!! Thx!

[VooDooAddict]

4xDeal => Amazingly affordable way to get 4 gig if needed.

@ $270 for 4gig of ram.

 

[marmasatt]

This is like stocks. I think I'm jumping on this. How low can it go?

And what is this? 1 Gig is $ 67 and 2 gigs for Dual channel is $ 334

Kingston DDR2 667

edit: I jumped. It's almost too low not to IMO, if you think you'l use it.

 

[mugs]

Thanks OP, bought two. That brings me up to 4 GB

 

[vetteguy]

does anyone know what the difference is between the two?
