Apacer PC133 I28Mg

Well, obviously with the recent plummet in memory prices, the regular price isn't anywhere near $285 for 128 meg stick. But $70 is a pretty good price, and is probably close to the lowest you can get. I think I remember hearing good things about these apacer ram a while back. If I remember correctly, they use infinion chips, which in turn make the ram a lot better then all the accessmicro/mcglenn POS generic ram.

I bought two sticks of Apacer PC133 with Infineon chips last January/February. They can do 2-2-3-5 at 150 MHz fine. I'm happy with the Sandra memory benchmark results I get with these on my P3V4X motherboard (Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset).
 
I have had this in my system since I built it back in march from computershow.com for $104 delivered. I have a p3v4x (133mhz fsb(default))with a lowly 600pIII and has performed flawlessly. Lifetime warranty and all, I'd say this is a killer deal.

O.T.- By the way is there a program or a way to tell if your ram is performing up to it's potential. Layman's terms please.Thanks.
 
The Apacer133 from computer-show.com had Infineon chips, rated 133cas3 but mine is running 133cas2. Becareful because apacer ram will vary depending on where you buy it. This deal is most likely the cheaper micron ram.
 
I just wanted to add that I also got mine from computer-show.com. The store actually mentioned that the RAM had the Infineon chips when they advertised the Apacer PC133 (that's how I found it, the cheapest Infineon RAM on pricewatch at the time).
 
I also bought mine from computer-show. It turned out to work pretty well.
I am using the ram I bough on two systems and it worked out fairly well. Some people reported getting 150MHz FSB out of the computer-show infineon memory chips.

I just bought some ram from computersupersale.com. It was $250 shipped for 2x 256mb pc133 sticks. It has some major drawbacks, like not working with most boards. It is supposed to be 7.5ns ram so should work at 133 w/o a problem. At least, I hope it works
that way. :0
I think it is even cheaper now. It is supposed to work with the ausu p3v4x and apollo via 133 chipset.

Yeah, I would not only like to know if I'm at cas2 or cas3, but what the hell does it mean??? Can anyone point me to a Complete Idiot's Guide to PC Memory or something?

I'm not even sure what I have, my mobo is an ABIT KA7 KX133, my system was built by an OEM (NeoComputers), they may even build their own memory modules for all I know. I know it's 256M/PC-133 and that's about it. I can see it's got chips on both sides (though I have no idea why that's better than one side). The chips say:

NECSingapore
D45128841G5
-A75-95F
0014EEL03

Any way to find out what that is? Does it matter? I'm totally clueless!
 
I think it is rated as CAS3, but it works great as CAS2 in Abit KT7.
I am running mine at FSB 110+33MHz, or memory at 143mhz, CAS2.
Zero problems or issues. Also purchased from Computer-Show.

If you are running Motherboard Monitor, there is a beta addon that
will show you all of your memory specs, including rated speed and
CAS capability. These show CAS Latency Supported: 2 3
 
Not all APACER SDRAM is the same. Some contain Infinion chips and some contain IBM.

Avoid IBM chips at all cost.
 
RobsTV (or anyone else),

Where is the "beta addon" for Motherboard Monitor?... I couldn't find one.
