Ever bought refurbished ram?

[Zarick]

I noticed newegg had kingston hyperx 2700pc133 on sale for 56 bucks refurbished... is this a bad idea?

Buying re-furb RAM can be tricky. Sometimes they're good and sometimes they're flaky. It's just like buying a "re-furbished" condom, you don't know what you're goin to get.....

Absolutely!!! Make sure about the warranty before buying. Personally, I wouldn't buy returned ram online. I'd buy used ram from a friend, if I could verify it's history and usage before buying.

You don't want to end up with a fried stick or one that's "on the way out" b/c it was massively overvolted or something.
