Anyway, I don't see why nobody's considering GeiL memory. I've only heard great things about their high end sticks I think they deserve a mention for the guy who wants to spend around $100 for 512MB. I'm close to ordering two sticks of PC3500 Ultra Platinum GeiL (4.5ns chips, cas2 1T) for $138 free shipping from gameve.com
Just checked pricewatch and I see a lot of red UP arrows. Looks like a good time to buy memory now.

while pc3500 geil sounds tempting...
it's 30 over my budget. :(

ok... so i have a question for you all ram gurus.

if $100 is my price range for 512mb, which ram would you guys recommend?

crucial pc2700?
corsair pc2700c2?
kingston pc3000?

i greatly appreciate your input on this.

for crucial, it seems like people are having delivery problems with cnetpc.
would it be a safer option to just get it directly from crucial for $80?

They are not having delivery problems with Cnet. Cnet is just slow and the fedex tracking number does not register till late in the evening.

Where can you find 512mb Corcair pc2700C2?? If you could, I would get that. If not, I would just get this Crucial.

I think googlegear has it for 100 bux.

I would still go Crucial considering the fact that it's only 63 shipped. :D

Ordered on Fri 28th and received this today...

CNETPC.COM sent 1 Express Saver Package to Joe XXXXXXX on 03/03/2003. The tracking number is 6XXXXXXXXXXXX. ;)

Got my stick. Crucial. :)

This is weird. The stick looks like some el cheapo sticks with Crucial stickers on it. Anyone have the real Crucial sticks to compare with?? Please let us know. Can tell us all the markings on the real Crucial stick??? The chip markings, not the sticker.

Just received my stick that were ordered on 2/27 and they are Crucial. For what it's worth the color of the board is the same as my 2100's in my other machine. Time to give CnetPC there due over at Reselleratings.com.

Forget what I said. I tested the sticks and it reads micron. :)

Are the sticks direct from Crucial double sided too?

Yes, for those of you wondering, these sticks look just like another stick I have direct from Crucial (although that one is PC2100).

Sounds like a good plan, except I would need a car. The only car that's available right now is a pair of 1981 feet; guess I can't get too far on that one. The real car is at home right now, which happens to be only about 500 miles away from where I am right now. In other words, no RAM till wednesday :(
