Thanks OP

Nice deal!

$123.00 at the egg (for the 2-2-2-5 1T)

 

[AmishPcFreak]

Sweet... thanks OP! Picked up 2. APC

Q: Can't use two random sticks for dual channel, right? Without d/c, what might be the performance dip vs. d/c?

 

[zhyjanet]

Is this good ram? how does this compare to the hyperX ram sold at Outpost?

 

[rch4001]

if the sticks are same model #, they will probably work as dual channel. I have bought separate crucial sticks that run dc fine. but ymmv

Kingston makes 2 types of Htper-X mamory at this speed.

Link to Kingston Memory page

KHX3200A/512 512MB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2
Timing Reference: 2-3-2-6-1 at +2.6V

and

KHX3200UL/512 512MB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2
Timing Reference: 2-2-2-5-1 at +2.7V

I bet its the "A" and not the "UL"

Still a good price for the performance!

If RAM prices continue to drop, wouldn't it be better to just wait for them to continue down? After all, I know most users here already have value ram.

hot deal. no rebates. and I thought that outpost deal for 2 sticks @ $125 was hot. This is hotter!

I looked at the product picture from the link and blew it up a little bit and it actually looks like the sticker says:

KHX3200/512 and doesn't have the UL or A. Even though I can't make it out exactly I did count the number of characters and there are only 7 before the "/"

EDIT: I looked up the part number as it "appears" and if it's truly KHX3200/512 then it's an older revision that uses BH-5 chips and runs at 2-2-2-5. Who knows what you will actually get if you order it though...it could be that, the A or the UL. I'm so tempted though.

I ordered 4 sticks, earlier this morning. Based on the product number, this should be the older BH-5 version. PC Club called me back, and said they only had a total of 3 more in stock (in their warehouse), just checking to make sure it was OK since I ordered 4... so presumably this clearance RAM is OOS. This occured about 5 hours ago. This is an FYI, for those who are debating ordering this or something else.

[xylem]

I just got a call back again, and it looks like I won't even get any, I placed one of the first orders for it, but someone before me ordered 20 (ROFL), so they are entirely out of stock.

The deal is dead.

 

[Knukklhead1]

 

[Knukklhead1]

My order says order pending......I'm guessing it'll be canceled even though the money has been taken out of my PayPal account. I ordered Friday morning at 10:30 central time. Any ideas?

 

[shinson]

I also ordered 2 and payed by paypal.

I ordered on April1 (April Fool's Joke?) around noon.
I got the e-mail from Paypal but the money has not been removed from my bank account.

Hmmmmmm................

 

[Knukklhead1]

Talked to PCClub today and they said order will be canceled even though they already have my money (PayPal). The guy said the accounting department will to credit my account in the next 24 hours. Anybody have experience with PCClub?

 

[RMSistight]

Yup...my order was canceled too. Oh well.

 

[shinson]

I was also charged and my order was cancelled.

I asked for a substitute and the CSR was very rude.

I asked how a company can sell items they do not have in stock and how they can take money from my account and not ship an item and he had no explaination or answer.

I told him I would be contacting my Bank, Paypal and his State A.G. until a refund was made.

He insisted that my account was not even charged even though I am looking at my statement.

I am disputing the charge with my CC company & Paypal since I paid with Paypal.

I hope that no one else will use this poorly operated company.

Thanks for the post OP. You had no idea that this CO were such slackers.
