DDR seems to be more expensive than DDR2 lately. i was looking for cheap 2GB kit of DDR for a VIA K8VSE asus 754 board, if someone can chime the quality of these would be great, and anyone who knows if these work without issue with the K8V se board would be valuable information

EDIT: sold at ebay HERE


thanks in advance!

Samsung DDR was some of the best you could get.

I dunno if I'd trust the seller tho. No real pics of the box or sticks. They are listed as PC2700 but called DDR400 which is off too.

I agree it makes no sense to add pc2700 after saying its 400MHZ strange, but i see that in the description that he means it downspeeds to 2700 etc,the seller has good profile, thanks for ur opinion on the ram samsung is a known brand, i left a message to vendor about the product, but it seems to be reliable source

EDIT: damn just saw this in the description "System Requirements :
1. Your system / Board must be able to use 1GB DDR modules
2. Not an Intel based nor ASUS based nor nVidia based Chipset."

he's also a moron...I had a DFI Lanparty UT SLI-D (NF4) using 1GB DDR sticks at 500Mhz.

Anyway Samsung is like Micron. They typically make ICs for memory but have their own OEM memory too.

I'm assuming he just put PC2700 in the title to get more people viewing the auction. For example, people searching for PC2700. Since PC3200 would be backwards compatible with PC2700, they could still buy it. As for the RAM itself, I'd say go for it.

Yeah, it actually appears the RAM is high density. Compatibility sucks for high density RAM.
