512 MB PC3200 RAM

Good deal for this... 512 DDR, 400MHz PC3200... only $59.99... deal ends Friday

is PC3200 the Fast stuff, or the normal speed stuff?

you'd be stupid to buy that stuff.....brand wise...

go to NCIX.com and you'll find much better RAM for much better prices. Heck the RAM I am selling right now is better Quality than that stuff

Heck, my new RAM's on sale again, and for less than it was when I bought it 2 weeks ago! http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...gy&promoid=1047

That's 90 bucks more for 2 sticks of stupidly-high performance RAM over 2 sticks of good-enough Samsung. Great price, I say.

PC 3200 is 400FSB. Depending on the stick you get, the latencies are different. This stuff is lesser than average stuff.

As for the first post.

#1 - You can get cheaper ram from NCIX.com.

There's a sale on Samsung 512mb for like 50 bucks. Samsung

#2 - This stuff is OEM and you could get a 2 year warranty through NCIX. Plus you don't deal with the manufacturer, you deal with NCIX for RMA issues.

#3 - The ram from Tigerdirect is 89.99 less a rebate. With the Samsung over at NCIX, the cost is the cost, no rebates, no bullshit.

#4 - Tigerdirect charges you PST, NCIX does not (with the exeptions of BC and the Maritimes).

#5 - The ram from Tigerdirect is CAS 3 @ 400FSB, the Samsung Ram at NCIX is CAS 2.5.

#6 - Cheap shipping at NCIX.com

#7 - NOS is an extreme geek for paying lots of money for CAS 2 ram. :lol:

I think that sums it all up.

Awesome stuff to bad this doesn't apply to me with my shitty oll computer

yea, thats not much of a sale....

I picked up a stick of corsair 512 for the same price last week

and ULTRA ram is s**t anyway, i got a few sticks of 128sd a few years back

all the sticks are dead now (died in seperate computers)


I strongly reccomend against ULTRA ram
