Heh me and Scrap go to those every now and then, mainly to laugh at the stupid prices being offered.
Occasionally we find a deal, last time was a HSF, maybe you have better dealers that go to your area but our marketpro shows stink.
Nice price on good ram, thanks OP.

I have had both the "A" version with CH-5 chips and the version with BH-5 chips. Both versions ran up to the limit of my motherboard's speed, 225 MHz, with 2.9V. The CH-5 was set at 2-2-3-x and the BH-5 at 2-2-2-x.
In UT2003 botmatch the BH-5 chips got 2 FPS more than the CH-5. On my system, 2 FPS = approx. 100 cpu MHz.
The CH-5 showed only 50 less MB/s in Sandra. But I don't think Sandra is a good measure of performance.

  I jumped on this deal too only I got the PC4000 256mb.
  I guess if you fill all 4 memory slots on a 865 of 875 MB it preforms better with single sided memory.
  
  4 KHX4000/256 256MB HyperX DDR 500MHz DIMM $66.00 $264.00
  
  
  Product Total: $264.00
  Tax:
  $23.23 :frown: I live in WA, not CA, I don't want to pay tax
  Freight:
  $0.00
  Grand Total: $287.23

bah, mine is backordered also 🙁

 

[ams30gts]

is this ram that much beter than for example kingston pc2700?

 

[Rooster286]

If your motherboard can support it, yes.

Well I'm going from 2gb of crucial PC2700 ram to 1gb of PC4000
I can't get the crucial above 200mhz to overclock my P4 2.4c
So if I can get 250mhz out of this stuff I will be happy with 1/2 the amount of ram.
I'd say its alot better.:beer:

P.S. If anyone is interested in 2GB of crucial PC2700 With heat spreaders That will Do 200mhz I will sell it for $250 shipped
The same memory is on sale now at crucial.com for $78.99 a stick Thats $315.96

I tried this on my Abit IC7 and can't get it run stably at default SPD settings. Apparently, a co-worker with the same board has had issues as well but people appear to get it working with 875P boards so it might just be the IC7. Regardless, I'm probably going to call today or tomorrow and return it.

If you have a 865PE board, and the NON-A Kingston ram, you may need to back off your memory timings to get it stable. Apparently the chipset cant handle the aggresive Memory Timings. here's a link to the Kingston FAQ article:

Price jumped to $224 for the 1GB kit, or $113 for one stick.

So now the KHX3200A/512 is even more expensive than the KHX3200/512. The former uses CH-5 chips, the latter BH-5. Interesting.
