OUT OF STOCK, SORRY

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."

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

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.

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.
