is this hot? does this have a rebate like the 64 mb version?

Yea thats pretty hot, It doesnt have a rebate though. But the price is damn good without 1.

How can this be hot, if you were able to get this same RAM from buy.com for $21.95 just one week ago.
Check out this thread.

well, a rebate expired on jan 31 for the 128mb chip. maybe through the magic of html editing it can be resurrected?

Ram has really hit rock bottom. 128 megs of decent laptop memory is now less than $50 too. Incredible.

 

[yodayoda]

is the reason why this is going so low is because the rebate expired? lower MSRP? btw, i found this exact same chip at newegg.com for $44, so not really a pant-wetting deal, unless you use some coupons.

The buy.com deal before was very hot... stop comparing deals to other deals... there is a thing called time and it passes... u take what u can get at the current situation. 45 bucks for valueram is pretty decent if not even hot.

how does this memory stack up against a crucial/micron pc133 cas3 chip?

 

[Alesmith]

A buddy of mine just got his ValueRam sticks and they have Mitsubishi chips on them, which I have not heard mentioned in the (many) threads on this ram.

Can anyone identify chips with the following markings, or point me to the right place?

M2V64S30DTP
TAIWAN03899A24-6L

and

M2V64S30DTP
TAIWAN03999A4M-6L

My question is - does the &quot;-6L&quot; mean 6ns ram? As in PC-166 rated?

Cheers,
-Dave

Couldn't this be pricematched against Staples (they carry Kingston) to get even a better deal. Maybe something like this:

2 128mb sticks@$44.95 =$90
Something for $10

$100 - $30 coupon plus $5 for shipping=$75 for 2 sticks and something for $10


Buy.com charges like $5 for shipping two of these, and Staples says they take 3-5 days for shipment, so don't let them try to add overnight shipping charges. This should work, but I have plently of ram so somebody else needs to try it....

Knowing Kingston, Im pretty sure that they'll post another rebate soon enough. just wait if you dont want to spend $45 on ram right now.

Or you guys could just consider Crucial 256M $103 shipped + sales tax.
