heh, i think this is only my second deal here!
This is a great price for 2100 DDR ram. The reason its cheap is cause Crucial isn't going to make the Ram in this configuration anymore (the number/type of chips on the ram). No Big Deal, it still works fine and is cheap.

actually i think it's that price becuase that ram is actually engineering samples and are sold "as is."

[hapoo]

Its not. C1ean at the FatWallet Forums called them:


Ok, I called Crucial first thing this morning AFTER reading the orig post on this last night by Macro2. I ordered the 256MB PC1600 the other day but really wanted the 2100.

Anyway, I talked to a guy named Jay (or something like that) who said he would confirm the availability and whether it was engineering ram and other questions I had. After about an hour of waiting I called back and spoke to Chris in sales, who is the guy Jay (?) passed my questions on to. Here is his info:

- Engineering RAM is kept on a non-public site and is marked $1,000 / module so that even if a link to the site got out it would not appeal to anyone to purchase.

- The RAM *IS* factory standard RAM and *IS* covered by the Crucial limited lifetime warranty.

- The RAM is approved for the Giga-Byte GA-7DX DDR mobo..... will work on most boards but it has been tested, approved and certified on THAT particular mobo.

- The RAM is complete and *NOT* "loose". It is a retail part ready to install and the same quality as all other commercially sold Crucial RAM.

- The RAM is CAS 2.5 and is 2.5v.

- The RAM *IS* PC 2100 (266MHz FSB)

I couldn't find a direct link onto crucials site but they start at $210 bucks for one 256meg PC2100 DDR SDRAM.

ok so I'm a little behind the RAM game :confused:
But can someone explain to me what kind of system would use DDR PC2100 RAM? Is that even supported for consumer mobo's?

Thanks for trying. $200+ is a little more than I was hoping to pay though.

Double Data Rate Sdram. As far as I know only very new Athlon systems use it at this point, P4's are very soon to follow.

hapoo, if they start at $210 then why does your thread title say $66.99???


a 256 meg DDR SDRAM starts at 210
my thread says 128 megs for 66.99 (or 60.99 if you buy off the web) normally this memory goes for twice as much.

That sucks. Any more good ram deals? Can you use DDR SDRAM on regular motherboards, like my KT7 ? Thanks.

[hapoo]

no, you have to have a board that can suppord DDR ram
