Pretty Hot deal on dual pack of Kingston HyperX PC3200 DDR 400MHz, 2 x 256MB $98.
Looks like it is in stock. Pretty good deal for dual channel mobo's.

HyperX DDR 400MHz

Datasheet

Advertised as HyperX but has "valueram" in URL for Datasheet?

Edit: Put in correct links to "dual pack". Thanks Delbert for pointing out wrong link.
Edit: 12/1/2003 They jacked the price up from $100 to $114. Not Hot, Not good.
Edit: Revised to $98 link.

I ordered one of these last week. For some reason I expected 2 256 sticks, but then received a single 512 stick. After reviewing the link (same as this one) I cant decide what made me think it was a two stick kit. Anyhow, I decided to order another 512 to match (hopefully) the first.

Link, still available @ $98

So looks like your system is running the memory at 333MHz, not at 400MHz. Check in the bios.

Are the DIMMs mixed with another batch? Looks like its timing is 2.5 - 3 - 3 -8 but being run at 2.0 - 3 - 3 - 7 and 333MHz.

That?s just the SPD values. CPU-z is reporting directly from the info burned into the modules. At least I thought that?s what the SPD was. The Web site says they are supposed to be" 512MB HyperX DDR 400MHz DIMM 2-3-2-6-1 Standard 64M X 64 Non-ECC 400MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.6V, CL2, 400mil, TSOP, Gold) " That said, I do need to set-up BIOS still.
Edit: It is just the two hyperX sticks installed.
