What brand is this?
$4.95 shipping is OK. Too bad most of their other prices aren't that great...

I have a few chips from them. I've posted my details in another thread. They are bad at getting orders straight and your chips on the modules are pretty much random. I have 2 of their CAS2 128's and here is what Sandra tells me

Memory Module 1: Micron 128MB 8x(16Mx8) SDRAM CL3 PC133U-333-542
Memory Module 2: 300E1200 128MB 8x(16Mx8) SDRAM CL3 PC133U-333-542

Anyone help me identify the module without micron chips ?

EDIT: I have run these at 140 and CAS2, but it required upping my I/O voltage. Does anyone know if Sandra maybe has trouble reporting memory modules with KT133's ? I have a KT7-RAID. Seems like they are switching in high end CAS3 for CAS2.


EDIT2: I emailed them and asked why I can't set my memory timings to anything higher than medium and get CAS2. I think the high speed with CAS2 is due to the chips on the module and the restrictions on memory timings are because of the cheap RAM modules themselves. It's a good deal (I am writing this post while encoding MP3s on Musicmatch at 15X WITH error correction, thanks to this RAM and the Kenwood 72X from another thread. The RAM is currently running at CAS 2 144Mhz, but I haven't done anything other than encoding yet to test) , but I still don't trust these guys.

EDIT3: For you benchmarking freaks out there, I'm getting 510/582 with Sandra with CPU/FSB at 972/108 currently. For all the bad press OCZ store gets, I ordered a Tbird 750 guaranteed to 900 mhz for the price of a 800 at the time and in fact got a Tbird 800 that does over a Ghz

Price is down to $93 dollars and their a gold store on bizrate.

If I can hit 140 cas2 then I'll hit 150 cas3, can't ask for more than that, from ram this cheap.

premiersystem is a no no!! I don't care if it is $20 a stick they won't get my money again. still waiting to get money back for order never shipped. don't get sucked in buy the good prices. go with crucial or someone reputable. check their ratings. Don't get sucked in by the free shipping for three or more sticks!!! THEY DON'T SHIP.
THEY JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY!!

there's this stick of 512mb memory for $205+shipping:

http://www.accessmicro.com/productinfo.php3?ProductId=SP512PC1336464

i don't know anything about this company or brand, but it is one stick instead of buying 2 256mb....if you're in the market for this much memory and if you're running low on slots! I've got 2 slots filled with 128mb and one open so i'm looking at this myself. I also assume it's cl3. I'm really more interested in the crucial memory, but this is tempting because it's one stick of 512mb....taserT

I bought 2 sticks of kingmax 128mb PC150 from them and I got them very fast. Good price and low shipping cost compare to lot of other companies.

I got 256 megabytes from this place.. free ground and it does clock at cas 2.. no big difference between this and Crucial at all that I can see just names.. I'm satisfied with it though I'd go with the Crucial Memory because they are a more established place and you get the best possible chips straight from Micron.. it's up to you though and $20 can add up if you're building a computer on a budget or whatever.. if it matters to anyone I can open up my other computer's case and get the chip brands.. just ask me and I'll post em..

I just ordered a 512M Dimm ($192), just too good to pass up.
They are part of Yahoo! and they seem to be rated well.

thanks busmaster11

sorry to hear it, stanman. it seems like other ppl have had success. you did something about your order, didn't you? i'm sure you could have called them about it and followed up if they didn't send you your stuff.

I just got my stick from them running, it has nameless chips. Sandra says it's mitsubishi chips 133@CAS3 but i have it running currently at 150@CAS2, so it seems like pretty good shtuff. That's my experience with it anyway.
