G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1000 for $74.99 shipped at newegg

Ahhh.. finally.. more stuff I don't really need but could use and shouldn't buy. In for 1.. thanks OP
 
A word of warning: I purchased 3 sets of these (when they were $89.99) and out of the 6 sticks, only one ended up POST-ing consistently, and even then it would only run at 800 5-5-5-15 at 2.0v. Two sticks ran for about a week at 800mhz, but then also started producing near-immediate memtest errors and BSOD.

To be sure, I tested sticks as bad on two boards (EVGA 680i SLI, Abit ix38 QuadGT).

Others have had good experiences with these, others bad...

Just like with every other brand of memory. The price we pay for getting a good deal is that the manufacturers don't have the resources to thoroughly test every product that leaves their hands.
 
Bought this for my mnor upgrade last week. So far they have worked. Friend did the same and they seem to work.

/crossing fingers I guess. But I am still tempted to try this out and go for 8GB 😀

Strange, I have put these in three boards and they all fired right up with no adjustments...

 
This is the price they should be. This Ram is DDR2 800 ocd to 1000, the same most quality DDR2 800 sets will do anyway.
 
I bought 2 sets of this ram back when it was around $115. It works good but tends to run hot on my ASUS board. After I bought one of those corsair dominator fans and manually set my timings, its been rock solid since
 
Man Newegg needs to delete those "Im giving this product a bad review because newegg wont send me free money" reviews. They screw up the PRODUCT reviewing feature.
 
I just bought a set of these also.. my corsair ddr800 DHX's are not OC'ing very well. so thought Id give these a try.

of all the money I spent on ram i could have bought a new processor to keep the fsb down..

what board did these go bad on originally? i had some problems with i680 boards killing my ram when i overclock. had to get 4 sticks of ram RMAed and have not had the same problem on my x38.
 
After going through three bad pairs and RMAs, I finally got one that works at spec-ed speeds.

Yes, you can run them at 1.8v 800mhz. I'm running them at that now.
