HOT RAM Deals! (read first before posting)

Corsair 1GB DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) 200 pin for $29.99 after mail in rebate

 

The corsair from newegg for $29.99 can be dual-channeled if I get two right?

 

yes.

but dual-channel is not important anymore. you barely get a 2-5% performance gain in real world benchmarks.

Back in the Athlon XP and Pentium 4 days, dual channel definitely gave a good performance increase.... but its not noticeable anymore in current computers/notebooks.

 

Aww, my deal didn't make it on front page? It's cheaper by 2 bucks! hehe j/k

 

well cesell pulled the patriot down ... i called to see if they had it and they didnt so i got newegg to price match as posted previously.. they will NOT price match without it being up so sorry to those that were going to try i didnt think cesell would pull it down...

 

Just added this, technically a better deal than the Newegg one since its free shipping.

Is OCZ really that good?

 

yup OCZ is a very reputable memory brand... with Micron chips. nice

 

Not sure what the point is of Micron chips if you can't overclock. I'm considering the Kingston deal, however.

 

ooops!...sorry for that one!

 

Is this one not good?

 

yup that GeIL deal is great... it wouldnt be without the rebate.

 

even sweeter, price drop.

i dont know much about RAM, so i hope thats all the info you need

i do not know the OEM
i do not know the warrenty, sorry


Cheers everyone

 

I'm curious, what kind of memory chip does OCZ use? micron?

 

Yep they use Micron chips. It matters what the chips are because micron is noted to use good chips. Would you want ok chips in your notebook memory or known to be great chips in your notebook. I'd take the later and also knowing the price of the ocz is awesome.

 

will these work for tge m1330 and does newegg ship Canadian?

 

got my patriot chips today and they in fact use micron chips on their 2gb sticks..!!! newegg price match!! 95$ shipped each stick!! newegg rocks

 

yes these sticks will work for the new M1330.

but Newegg (to my knowledge) does not ship to Canada, you can contact them to confirm this.

 

Where was that post about some hardware still not seeing all 4GB? Didn't you say the 945 chipsets and earlier would still only get around 3GB?

 

945 cant use 4gb

Also I had gotten 2x2gb of OCZ awhile back and the IC's were unknown to me, they were not micron from what I could tell, I heard OCZ does not use a set IC for there ram but just uses what ever is avalible to them at the momeent.

 

945 will not see the full 4gb according to intel..

 

Correct.

The Napa platform using the mobile Intel 945 chipset is capped at 3gigs of RAM.... at low level (meaning the motherboard can see and support).

The Santa Rosa platform with the mobile Intel 965 chipset does not have that limitation, so it will see the full 4gigs (2 x 2gb)

 

GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) is $5 cheaper... and...

So which one of the 2 x 1GB do you guys think is the best deal? I'm leaning towards the kingston at the moment.

 

any is fine, all great memory

go for the better priced ones fast

 

imo i dont really like kingston very much some think im crazy but i think they are overpriced and ive had issues with many of their chios in the past.. my first choice is always ocz but usually not as cheap as others. i just picked up some patriot ram and like it a lot.. geil, pqi, patriot, and pny all use good chips... i was in the same boat and sine i dont usually buy notebook ram (usually desktop) i learned a ton by reading and reading, but grab a deal while you can prices seem to be on the rise for a while again

 

How is this deal for RAM ..for thinkpad t61 ..i have 1Gb installed and would like to add another one ....

How are Kingston memory's ....i noticed that they dont use micron chips ..instead used Elpidia/Elpida chips ...are they good ....atleast comparable to micron or samsung ?

Here is the deal ...
Kingston 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Notebook Memory

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134129

 

Elpida are quite good as well in my opinion. It really doesn't matter all that much, not liek your going to be overclocking or anything.

 

Any memory from Kingston is considered great quality and highly compatible... since they will back it and will swap it if you have any issues (no questions asked).

 

they may swap it but i can say ive had a few bad out of the box modules so i dont buy kingston anymore just maybe me though

 

Can ddr-667 work in a xps m140?

http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5269797#detailed

I want the fastest ram I can get, I put vista on my m140.....

 

@Militant_X: You can use ddr2-667, but it will downclock to ddr2-533. There is no performance difference between 533 and 667 though so no worries.

Vista on a single core machine?!? Why...?

 

Well, I don't have the money to buy another laptop so I tested it out with my old laptop. It runs decent and casual work which is mostly what I do with the computer. I do want a upgrade but can't afford it right now.

 

vista runs great on my p4 northy....

 

installed 1GB ram ...new t61 ...memory not recognizing.....any solutions ????

 

which kind?

did you try to remove the other stick of ram?

did you try it in another slot?

 

Kingston 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Notebook Memory

No i dint remove the other stick ....should i do that ?....should i repeat the same thing again ....try one more time ?

 

wow, Kingston is one of the most compatible for all systems.

you should try to remove the other stick and see if the Kingston works, then try to put into another slot, then try both again in different slots.

it should take less than a couple of minutes to do all of this.
