you never know! Prices are dropping fast!

Price is $75.50 at AllStarShop
They now have free will call/pick up(used to be $5), so a better deal if you're in southern california.

Changed title to reflect the $77.50

(dang - I thought checking this price once in the morning every day would be enough!!!! It is dropping a LOT lately LOL)

I may jump on this soon.

This is getting very hard to resist. Trying to catch it at the bottoming-out price is quite a task at this point.

A Novice Question

Whats the difference between DDR 2100 / DDR 2700 / 333MHz / 225 Mhz etc ?

I have a Dell Dimensions 4400 - which usually takes DDR 2100.....can I use 2700 ?......what would be the advantage if any ?

PC2100 = 2x133=266Mhz
PC2700 = 2x166=333Mhz

With Dells, you really can't overclock so there is no point in purchasing anything over PC2100

I know this probably belongs in General Hardware, but another Newbie question(s).....I have one Crucial 2700 256 meg chip currently with a XP2000+ and a Soyo Dragon Ultra Platinum, no oc.

1. Should I stick with Crucial or can I get this Kingston ram with no probs?
2. Can I get a 512 meg chip or stick with another 256 meg chip? I heard something about this not being as good for DDR if I use 2 different sizes.

Thanks for any help.

MD.

What timings can this RAM handle? How high have people gotten it to overclock (and at what timings)? As long as RAM is cheap, I might as well be picky about quality.

PriceWatch has Samsung or Micron 512 sticks on generic PCB pc2700 333mhz 2.5 for 68 shipped at many places. Why you you not pick that? Wouldnt the quality be just as much as a toss up as this?

Maybe Kingston is slightly less of a toss up? I lump RAM into 2 categories...1) Overclocking RAM, you need to know everything possible (timings, CAS, CL, etc.) and 2) Wife RAM. Whatever hand-me-down computer I give to my wife This falls into the category of Wife RAM
