outpost might be vague in description, but after going into some SKU-searching, these are dual pack 512 strips (thats why the DC at the end, for your Dual Channel needs)

these, atnewegg, go for 177 before ship

i hate outpost, always pricing errors. i add to cart and shows 149.99... guess i should call to order tomorrow morning :thumbsdown:

 

[gshock888]

crap, website price raised to 149.99

 

[mray]

I bought some of this last week from outpost
at 149...great memory for the price and it looks pretty cool , too

 

[gshock888]

that blue heatspreader is cool. thats why i am still wondering if i should get it on my custom budget rig im building

but at 149.99, thats almost the same price i paid for my mobo case and CPU

 

[user1234]

ummm.....they have the 512MB for 69.99 so you can get two of these for less. Why pay a premium to get the "dual channel" kit ?

Back to $140 (on page and on order) at Fry's Outpost. Still $170 at Newegg.

EDIT: I just noticed they do have another Geil product for $149: its the 1GB package, not the 2x512MB package.

 

[user1234]

waht are you talking about? they still have the 512 for $70, just buy two of them for $140.

Anyone know if the deal is good at Fry's as well?

it's not. the price is $179 @ B&M.

 

[scoot]

why the kit, because if you buy 2 single 512MBs you might not get a matched pair and then you're not getting dual channel according to what I've been reading

 

[formulav8]

Thats a gimick. You do not have to have matched pairs to have proper dual channel support. Just another way for companys to get a extra few bucks.

wouldn't different latency-timing cause instability? just my thoughts... im uneducated when it comes to RAM
