    than stay with 667. you will have no benefit unless you have settings to overclock the cpu..you dont have a extreme one so dont worry about it

    This link isn't working for me :confused:

    I tried searching through Fry's website, but couldn't find any 4GB PC5300 for that price.

    Wait... are we talking about a different item here?

    eleron, was that for a single 2GB stick or two 2GB sticks (2x2GB)?

    If it was for 2x2GB, could you provide a link please.... I can't seem to find anything for that price.

    Thanks.

    I read that the rebate is ridiculously timed, like 12 days since you place your order. Which would of course include processing from the retailer, getting it, and then shipping the necessary stuff to OCZ directly - anyone know?


    Is OCZ on par with Corsair and Kingston?

    Actually, some notebook retailer like KillerNotebooks.com would claim that OCZ is the best. They also mention their bad experience with one of the major brands, I forgot which one. It is mentioned on their website.

    ocz is fine. rebates are meant to be a pain. you just do it and you will be fine. i got my rebate from ocz, no problems. it was a different promotion (basically the same one) from them, from about a 6 or 7 weeks ago. i got my check a few weeks after i sent in my stuff.

    I'm surprised no one's been talking about HyperX memory. I asked tech support about it:

    -------------
    (me) "what is HyperX memory?"
    (me) "it's twice as epensive as the regular RAM.."
    (me) "and do you think it's worth the money?"

    (Dell)"Let me check on that."
    (Dell) "Thank you for staying connected."
    (Dell) "The HyperX memory offers faster speeds, higher data bandwidths and lower power consumption than regular RAM."
    (Dell) "That is the reason they are expensive."
    --------------


    This is what spurred the question: here. Lower power consumption and faster speed, it just seems like a no brainer.

    Dell once tried to convince me an XPS M140 used a special XPS-DDR2 type of RAM so I couldn't buy RAM off of NewEgg and it work.

    Yeah, Dell just is trying to make a sale.

    Those who want to upgrade their dv5zs or just want to upgrade in general. Newegg has an amazing offer. I just bought mine yesterday. Still haven't shipped though : /

    Anyway here's the link:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231156

    I can only deal with Instant Rebates. Mail Ins always seem to get lost in the wind.

    But yes, I dislike how Computer Manufacturers upsell lower quality RAM at 500% Markup and then suggest it's teh only thing compatible.

    Like good on 'InternetBound' for slamming these into his Mac. Most Mac owners are ditto heads and willing to pay hundreds more for that warm cozy feeling.

    Bump to top for last day of this deal. Should note that it also has free ground shipping, and at least in Virginia no sales tax (don't know about other places).

    Dont know if its been posted but $10.99 2gig so-dimm good brand after rebate from frys: http://shop2.frys.com/product/5442679

    So thats cheaper than many of the 4gig kits, 11+11 = $22 and for me shipping was like $6 so $28 for 4gigs of ram if thats what you needed.
