WTB DDR2 Ram cheap

SaltWaterN00b · 03-01-2007, 12:05 PM

Not sure if anyone can help me out, Im looking to get my hands on about 1 gig of DDR2-667 or -800 ram real cheap. Can anyone help out?

What happen was I thought I would be able to use my DRR but the board i bought will only use DDR2 so I sunk the rest of the money I had in the processor and video card lol.

have you tried:
www.techbargains.com they seem to have inexpensive memory chips.

Don't buy the "no frills" generic ram it's not worth it. You'll get crashes and all manner of glitches.

Hit up crucial.com or corasir they make good stuff

(Crucial is owned by micron who owns most of the Dram/SDram/etc patents)

Seriously it's not worth buying crappy memory, memory is REALLY important so don't skimp. You wouldn't buy a Ferrari and put mismatched used tires on it.

Yea I understand that Im just looking to see if someone has it cheap, I normally only use Kingston, Ive NEVER had a problem with them.

www.newegg.com has good prices, or overstock.com has some kingston usually. Its what i use although i have had 2 defective chips which they wouldn't replace saying they are reading but not working properly and didn't wanna refund me or replace them.

That was one of the offenders of "no frills" ram I was speaking of

That aside, back in the day via pricewatch I found a dude that had factory unlocked Athlons! Back when DDR first came out and AMD started lazering off the connections. He had good stuff.

But if you put in 'kingston DDR2-667' it shows Kingston ram. You don't have to get the cheap stuff. Get a brand name, Crucial, Mushkin, kingston, ocz. . . the list goes on.
