512 MB PC2700 RAM for $54.99 at Fry's

[puppyfriend]

In today's Merc. 512 MB PC2700 stick for $54.99. Good thru Thursday. Don't buy that obselete Crucial PC2100 when you can get bottom of the barrel third world PC2700 RAM from Fry's. Seriously I've used nothing but the cheapest generic RAM from Fry's for the last 15 years. It works fine.

aren't u funny.

but yes i'm sold, me go frys!

Well, most of the time Crucial 2100 can run at 2700. Anyway, you are very lucky with your Fry's ram because I have heard that a lot of people have problems with it. But if you can get a stick that runs fine, this is a hot deal.

well, the best way to learn a lesson is to experience it first hand.
I've been through one painful memory's death and it ain't pretty....you got what you paid.
Still $55 is darn cheap for pc2700

Yea these will run at 2700 but probably won't be stable at anything higher.

Finally, My Dell 4550 can get to 1GB RAM......for what?

Gah, if this is that cheap ram. Yah, this stuff only runs 2700 and nothign higher. if i remember correctly, their 6ns chips. Brand was some... generic one. I tried overclocking it, and nope it doesn't overclock. Just a series of beeps.

If yer planning on running this only at 2700 with no overclocking, this is hte ram to get.

 

[0roo0roo]

well this is the price their 2100 was just like last week. i'll just underclock this anyways so its good

 

[0roo0roo]

surprisingly it has a 1 yr warrantee. ussually u only get 90days.

not bad so far. i'm at 139/139 on my 2000+ oc 2100+. can't seem to go higher, probably cuz i can't tweak cpu voltage+palomino ecs m/b not all that hot for oc, but still its not bad at all

i wonder what the best mem timings are for this. ecs mb is a pain cuz if u go too far u gotta reset bios using a %@# pin/cap setup inside case. very annoying.

anyone get 133/166 working?

 

[KuRnUp]

well, that IS a good price, but i got crucial 512 2700 for $62 the other day. stiil waiting for it to arrive. i wouldnt go generic when the other retailers have low prices too

I can get my 1700+ to 2000+ at 147/147 I heard that if you do 133/166 it will perform like a 133/133 anyways.

 

[0roo0roo]

yea curses. oh well, 138/138 is better then nothing

u get ultra memory timings to work? what cas etc?

 

[Bacinator]

it was posted here but u must have missed it. mwave pc2700 $53.

 

[Bacinator]

P.S. I got 2 sticks of $53 512mb mwave pc2700 running my xp2100 @ 175mhz fsb stable.

 

[targg]

Two things I wont ever go generic on...power supplies and RAM. You can get away with almost everything else.

I have a handful of goofy sticks of RAM in my junkbox, and i'm fairly certain all of it came from fry's. I have a pile of Kingston and Crucial sticks, they keep working until they're completely obsolete.

 

[0roo0roo]

its good at frys again. same deal. running stable here, 1gb

1yr warrantee.

 

[her209]

You couldn't pay me enough money to put Fry's memory into my system.

 

[0roo0roo]

then your better then i. you could pay me any amount to use frys memory.

<---accepts paypal.


hey, i used all mushkin on my previous system. now using all frys. not seein the difference. i'm not really overclocking hardcore so its not a factor.

 

[Tung]

nice

[augmentin]

picked a stick up yesterday. it is running fine in my del 4550.
i dont overclock. was prepared to return it at the first sign of
even slight trouble.

Purchased it this afternoon- came with a $10 rebate form (that looks kind of iffy- it says it needs the UPC from the box- but there is no UPC on the box).

 

[Bacinator]

I already posted this in a different thread, but y'all mighta missed it : Old Post

Summarized: Outpost.com (Fry's official pseudo-online storefront) has the deal for 52.99, +s/h. Linkypoo

EDIT: Fixed old post linky.
