There is one in the Atlanta area (Duluth) and another one on the way. Also, any time you see a Fry's deal check Outpost.com to see if they have the same deal (they are the same entity).

Yeah, I know Outpost = Frys, but a lot of deals are Frys only. Which sucks. Also, as convenient as it is to order something online, sometimes you just want it NOW. There's no location near where I live though.

138.79 at Chief Value, free shipping for the same memory. 2 x 1GB Corsair

Or buy two of the 1GB Corsair DIMMS for 67.69 each to save more. 1 GB Corsair
135.38 also with free shipping.

You might save two or three dollars with the Fry's deal but here there's no rebate to worry about.

Are there any differences between these two? Or is the 2x1gb just packaging the two of the 1gb sticks together for dual-channel purposes?

Two sticks vs one. These will probably come with UCCC chips. Should do at least 220MHz at stock settings.

Got me a pair. Not planning on OC'ing much at all (I'm happy with stock so any OC is fine by me) in this box.

 

[hytek369]

good stuff

Actually, buying the 2*1gb sticks at chief value is more like $134 shipped now.

got week 28 and 32 on one stick
But i saw people get Nanya Chip too

i got these at fry's over new years when they were 99.99 AR
and mine have nanya chips on them

222mhz 3-3-3-10 @ 2.9V

I bought the 2 x 1gb chips at Chief Value and they were the Nana chips. Runs good at stock. Bought a week ago at $133.

 

[furballi]

Did you attempted to overclock the module with the Nan chips?

2.9v is usually too much for 1gb sticks. i've read reports where anything above 2.8v killed their sticks over time cuz the programmed spd gets fried.

that might be ballistix specific though...but hey what the heck, ram is so cheap nowadays anyways

 

[woodsman]

I did run them at stock timming at 213, and at 2.7v, and it ran good. But I didn't prime 95 it. I just don't have the time. Sorry I couldn't more helpful.

 

[furballi]

thanks!

Long time lurker.. first time poster!!!

BTW, how do I get the free shipping on the link pls? And it's taxed btw for Californians.

At your local Fry's, Corsair Value deal is back on until Tuesday, April 11. This time the price before rebate is lower $149.99 but rebate is only $20 for same end price of AR of $129.99. Actually this is about a buck cheaper because they charge tax on the pre-rebate price.
