    One need not ask if 2 x 4gb 1333MHz is a good deal! It is.

    Yeah good deal. I picked up the deal for 2x2GB 1600mhz for $25.00 the other day, but you save 2 ram slots with this deal for just a bit more.

    Though I plan to overclock so the 1600mhz may come in handy.

    Now if only P67 mobo's would get fixed and back on market.

    Bah ignore me, I posted about a desktop ram I just saw this is for laptop ram so this is an even better deal that I thought it was.

    The deal I got was actually $20 for 2x2 1600 DDR3 it was a $25MIR & $5.00 instant off w/ free shipping from newegg. Limit 2 on MIR and Limit 3 on purchase. So I got 2 of them to build my new desktop with.

    Im planing on a P67 mobo + 2600K cpu (OC to 4.2GHZ+) build sometime down the road when I can afford it and find good deals on the parts. Even though it may take a long time I didnt see DDR3 RAM going away any time soon so jumped on that deal.

    Holy crap, good find! Might be a good idea to bump my GX640's RAM to 8GB!

    This is an excellent deal. I rate G.Skill on par with Crucial as the best memory brand. I have used most of them brands over the years!!! :)

    Agreed. G.Skill absolutely 100% stands behind their products, and their lifetime warranty is just that. They replaced a stick of DDR memory that went bad after 4+ years. All I had to do was e-mail a form to get an RMA, send back the bad part, and I received a new one within 2 weeks. No fuss, no arguing with a support technician who thinks he knows more than you (OCZ, I'm looking at you). Try to get that kind of support from anywhere else, especially for something that's way past its shelf life.

    Just ordered a pair, for my DM1z. Splurge on the $5.99 shipping though, NewEgg's 4-7 free ship is painfully slow.

    Bah, if you can't wait a week...

    I can vouch for G.Skill as well. Running 16GB (4x4GB) in my notebook and 8GB (2x4GB) in my desktop. Tempted to get this in my M11x, but really don't think I need it.

    Yeah, anyone who hung out in the MSI forums last year knows my love of G.Skill.

    Have it in my desktop and notebooks even now. Just good stuff and I've yet to find a system it didn't like. Had one stick go bad, and the RMA was quick and professional.
