gar I forgot to change the delivery address to school instead of home... I checked the UPS tracking #, and it already arrived at my house back in Diamond Bar... while I'm 300+ miles away in Santa Cruz :( oh well, I guess I'll have to pick it up next weekend when I go home =(

got mine today, ordered it 4am on the 15th, got it today at 4pm today the 16th, not bad. Too bad, didn't know they I lived in the same city as the delivery place, would have gone for free ground shipping instead of 2nd day air. What a waste of $11.50. Oh well, at least i got it in less than two days... correction, 12 hours to be exact. Runs pretty good.

I ordered around 10am, received it just after noon the next day. First order of business, fill out the rebate stuff (I've missed so many rebates because I neglected to do them, probably $100 worth in the past year), make photocopies of all the stuff and drop it in the mail.

Package says Kingston ValueRAM, PC100 CL2. Chips say Samsung on them. I have a system with an Abit BX133-RAID running a P3-700 OC to 933. I removed the Mushkin RAM from it, and put in the new stick. Running at 133MHz, 3-3-3. Stable. Have not tried messing with it yet, to see if it runs 2-2-2 or any combination of 2 or 3. I don't really expect it to, because I had a PC100 stick that used Samsung chips which can run at 140MHz 3-3-3, but can't do more than about 105 at 2-2-2.

I'm gonna give the extra stick of 256MB to my GF, take her old 64 and 128 out and use that to upgrade her parent's machine to 128 (from 64, so I can play Unreal Tournament on it better when I visit) and still have 128MB left over for upgrading other machines.

This is in response to Fatdragonn's post. I would really like one of those 256MB Kingston ram modules at cost plus shipping. But to ask everyone something, wasn't there a limit on the number of modules you can buy? Fatdragonn said he bought 6 or 7. I thought the limit was like 3. Let me know if I'm wrong. I'm just questioning this because I really want one and have to make sure that he's not trying to rip off desperate people who didn't get a chance to get on the deal.

Thanks

Well... Unless he has 6-7 "family members" and each of them bought one for him.

Buy.com cannot impose limits with their ecommerce engine on regular SKU'd products. The limit is merely a deterrent statement that they do not enforce.

Did anyone test this at cas2@133? Mine hasn't come yet, and if no one post that result by then, I'll post it for everybody

Got mine the other day. It runs fine at 133 CAS2. Actually, I tried 146 CAS2 and it also works fine. Same samsung chips as everyone else's. Great buy!

being able to post and boot up at those speeds at cas-2 doesnt necessarily mean it will work. have you tried any torture tests such as prime95 or rc5 for a lengthy period of time? I'd really like to be able to be stable at pc133-cas2 to match my crucial cas2 pc133 stick in there already. else i'd have to slow that one down to match the kingston.

I bought the same 256MB from Staples for $107 and it's
now installed in my machine (Intel 733 + Tyan Trinity 400).
Works great so far! I ran DocMemory 1.45a on it for a while
and it passed all tests without any problems. Quite a few
reviews on the web rate ValueRam very high and claim speeds
of up to 146MHz or so at CL2.

Holden: I am running a P3 700e @ 933 on an ASUS p3v4x. As far as I know its 100% stable at 133 CAS2 (for me). But for 146 CAS2, I cant say much. It boots fine and I can play games on it fine, but other than that, I didnt vigorously test it out. Since my CPU cant run that high of a FSB, I have to lower the FSB to about 108 or so and then set the memory up to 144 or something. And since I would rather run 933, I dont really care about running the memory that high.

Can anyone confirm that this DIMM will work with a Rev 1.00 Abit BH-6 board with the latest firmware?
