pc4800 for 85 bucks??

[GrInD1901]

Hey guys,
I dont know if you noticed but i think this is worth to look at...512 mb of patriot xbl pc4800 tccd for 85 bucks? thats $170 for a gig of this stuff. I ordered a stick last night to see if its gonna work with my evga mobo. its rated 2-2-2-5 for pc3200 and 2.5-4-4-8 for pc4800. looks like i got the last stick because they jus got on auto notify. well i hope this deal is good to you.

yup i was right.

Thanks for the link tbogstad - you're a better mind reader than I am.

omg sorry guys i forgot to post the link, btw, thx tbogstad

is this stuff really worth it? you can get DDR2 4200 at circuit city for $35 for 512 or microcenter for $22 for 512 (both after MIR). Why would someone spend 2.5-3.5 times more for memory that would at best give them a 3-5% boost in performance? can someone enlighten me a little please.

Last I checked AMD didn't support DDR2 so yeah, it's worth it.

This stuff use to be only $150 a month or so ago. But now everyone knows that ALL Patriot XBLK is TCCD, its gone up.

The Geil One TCCD is about $80, much better deal from better vendor.

but the geil i think comes in 2x256 sticks so u cant have 2 gigs of that stuff....

 

[GrInD1901]

theyre supposed 2 b here on thursday so ill tell u guys how it works out

 

[prochobo]

I've got 1gb (2x512) XBL TCCD from Patriot and it's awesome! Patriot is a little known company that doesn't have much publicity, but they are good. I've gone 275FSB 3-4-4-8 with these running 1T 1:1. Couldn't go higher since I reached my CPU's limit.

 

[GrInD1901]

nice, i hope i get similar results

 

[shinzwei]

um,i guess its instock now....

 

[GrInD1901]

well i got the ram today but i just installed windows. ill post the ocing results later. omg it feels so good to finally have a normal pc.

EDIT: well so far im doing 2.4 with all stock settings(267 fsb). the only problem that i think is that on evga the max cpu voltage is 1.55 i think. so that limits me too...
well anyway before i go to sleep tonight....ill get it to 2.7
