256 MB PC2400 DDR Ram for under $80 + shipping

[AnimEva]

I dont know if this is a great price, but it is a PC2400 Ram.

It is located at outpost.com but it does not say the brand. Under manufacturer, it just says OEM Memory. What do you guys think?

here is the link, but I remember outpost links, dont let you copy and paste them.

U know what kind it is?

If it's Corsair, then this is hot.

Ummmm...to answer my own question...

PDP Systems is the brand of the memory.

Anyone ever heard of them?

No, but a Google search turned up THIS as the second hit (which was a sub of the first hit). More information about their memory products at that site. I'd quote it, but it won't kill anyone to do a little clicking for him/herself. ;-)

EDIT: Looks like that memory is either brand-spanking-new and hasn't been noted on their site yet, or it's overclocked. No 2400 DDR listed at PDP's site that I saw. Specs on the 2100 and 1600 look decent, but that doesn't really say anything about this RAM. *shrug* Can't afford it anyway, so I hope everyone will forgive my lack of interest beyond this. :-(

I need PC2100 one for my new dell PC. This would be more than enough.

as far as getting memory is concerned...
i think it's much safer to go with a known brand.

especially if you're into overclocking...
you have no idea what you're getting out of these although it is stated to be pc2400.

i'm not crapping... but i just wanted to warn you guys of this.

I ordered the PC2700 PC-2700 256MB $79.95 last week.
(Wow, price just shot up $20 in couple hours, now $99. Screw that.)
Uses 6ns Nanya chips, which are supposed to be pretty good, and used by Corsair, Apacer, OCZ, and Mushkin.
Dropped a stick into the Epox 8kha+ ($59 delivered Newegg), and had no problems hitting 200fsb with mem at 3/4.
To test stability, ran 3dm2k1se, and no problem running 1GHz T-Bird at 200x7 or 1400, using 3/4 memory (150MHz).
Best I could do with mem at 1:1 was 155MHz fsb x 9, or 1395MHz.
While I was hoping for 180 using 1:1, doesn't seem bad for the lowest price going.
But, Crucial PC2100 might do just as well as this generic PC2700. Don't know.

good old crucial hit 150 MHz without upping the voltage on my KR7A motherboard. 150MHz = PC2400 and it cares the lifetime Crucial warranty.

 

[gotsmack]

what are the speed for these 2400 and 2700 chips? I just figured out that 2100 was 266. any links to webpages that explain this stuff?

 

[sigmatic]

i'm not quite sure how the pc2100/2400 etc thing works, but I believe that DDR 333 is pc2400. That means 166mhz x 2 (ie, 166.6666666... x 2 = 333.3333333...). Therefore DDR 2700 is maybe 200 x 2 (or 400)? Heck, I don't really know. But I think that's how it works.

 

[MowSow]

RobsTV I clicked on your link and the price was $99 !! for that price I'll get a stick or Corsair.

 

[RobsTV]

Yep, looks like the PC2700 shot up $20 over past couple hours.

PC1600 = 200MHz DDR (1.6 GB/sec), compare to PC100 sdram (0.80 GB/sec) type rating. (worst)
PC2100 = 266MHz DDR (2.1 GB/sec), compare to PC133 sdram (1.06 GB/sec) type rating.
PC2400 = 300MHz DDR (2.4 GB/sec), compare to PC150 sdram (1.20 GB/sec) type rating.
PC2700 = 333MHz DDR (2.7 GB/sec), compare to PC166 sdram (1.35 GB/sec) type rating. (best)

BTW, the Outpost PC2700 ran the speeds I posted a few posts above at CAS 2, default voltage.

thanks for the info
