help w/ ddr 400

guys i need to buy 2 1 GB 200 pin ddr 400 sticks.. i obviously found some on newegg for 90+ each.. but i saw these on ebay.. 1 GB and i dont know if it is worth the reduced price.. does it really matter if you buy generic ram?? and also, which place has the best deal on these sticks?? thanks!!

 

If you want to overclock stay away from generic usually, to know for sure the quality you have to google them up and find what memory chips they use (IC's)

I purpostly built my machine to run at max performance so I needed good ram its running DDR500 at 3-4-3-8 timings with a 1:1 ratio with my cpu fsb so I get the best amount of power from each cpu cycle.

Id just look around more for some good ram from a trusted seller like newegg.
Check out things like pricegrabber aswell.

Infact let me see if I can find you a good deal really fast.

 

aight thanks man....

 

119$ after rebate if you dont mind rebates:

106$ for value stuff wich is still great ram if your not intrested in benchmarks scores or overclocking:

Those are both 2gb kits that compose of 2x1gb dimms that have been tested together for max compatablity in dual channel mode.

Heck if I had more money Id sell you my top end stuf very cheap (like 40$ max for both dimm's) because Id love to upgrade to a C2D and DDR2.

 

edit: just noticed you need sodimms not desktop dimms from your ebay link, that link aslo says its DDR2...

you need DDR tho right?

im looking...

wow it just doesnt exsist!!! I went thru 20 pages on pricegrabber, 15 on google, and all thru ebay. Its all no-name stuff, smaller than 1gb, or its DDR2. Anything that meets the requirements here (DDR So-Dimm 400mhz) start off at about 85$.

This is the best I can find with a trusted name: (but I have no info on that seller, its a google seller so it should be fine)

Im on that thread every day but prices for the DDR 400 are still 80$ + s&h so its not any better than what we already found.
