Hot! Buffalo Tech. DDR400 RAM cas2.5 (winbond CH5) $37 - newegg

[DonCrescas]

First deal post, no flames please.

Buffalo Technology 184 Pin 256MB DDR PC-3200 - OEM $37 as of 12/11 6pm EST

It was hovering around 46 last week, this week it took a dive. I've ordered this RAM before (works like a charm in dual channel mode in my $325 Dell SC400 P4 2.4- thanks guys) and though it no longer says so in the product description, at the time it had the highly overclockable winbond memory chips. However, I can't verify that they still use these chips in the manufacturing. I don't think you can find better quality DDR400 memory at this price. Plus, Newegg is very reliable and shipping is free.

good price but I have heard mixed reviews about this brand ... any input?

Yup, these are the Winbond CH5 chips. I ordered 4 sticks 3 days ago, received them today. Called up newegg and asked for a pricematch. The CSR said she could only refund a max of $24, so I wasn't refunded tax. Oh well. Thanks DonCrescas for saving me $24! This ram seems to have some pretty good reviews on the newegg website. Hope I get good results overclocking...

Granted it's not a typical situation, but I've got 2 sticks of Buffalo 512MB, one wih the -5 and one with the -6 chips. Both are PC3200, running at PC2700 speeds. I have the timing set for 2-2-2-5 and they work fine.

Probably not worth much to you - doing the fast timings but at an underclocked speed - but either way they work for me. The only thing I've ever read negative about them are undue - somone who can't overclock them as fast as something else can be. Never have I read about a stick being RMA'd, or not holding up to "standard" speeds.

Great sticks, mine don't O/C But it's still good enough to run my 2500+@3200+ speeds

Sounds good, I plan to do the same thing when I get these sticks.
