I haven't confirmed their shipping price in over a week. I think it is:
$9.50 for 1 stick, $10.50 for 2 sticks, $11.50 for 3 sticks, $12.50 for 4 sticks, and $13.50 for 5 sticks.

Anyone confirm this?

1GB shipped for $180 is VERY HOT! Worth purchasing a compatible mainboard and replacing an old one!

My RAM I ordered 13 days ago just showed today :) UpgradePlanet took 2 days to put it package and hand to UPS... and being all the way in Seattle, UPS ground took a staggering 11 days to deliver it. The wait wasn't the big deal... it is looking at the invoice that hurts :)

I paid $52 only 13 days ago... 25% drop in 13 days!! Better put it to use before it is worthless :)

I did NOT get the "Mystery Triangle" RAM. I got some stuff that is so faintly etched that I HAD to use my Nikon 950 to get a photo of it to look at on the PC to see what was printed on the chips. I'm not joking.

It says:
USA
32X4Y3VTW-SS

Wow, made in the USA? I thought only Micron had DRAM fabs?

It said the ram will work with KT7 motherboards. But i have a Abit KT7A-RAID .
so the question is, have anyone got it working with their KT7A mobo?
I looked at all the threads, but no one mentioned anything about this.

thanks

Man...the dilemna! Do I snatch it up and this unbelievable $42 per, or wait for it to go down even further? Aahh! Cheap memory overload!

that is still pretty good $100 for 512MB of ram +shipping and tax(if applicable.)
Still pretty hot. The price has fluctuated quite a bit, so it may still come down.

Just got mine this morning (256 meg). Got it for $60.99 with second day air shipping. So far it works great in my plain old KT7! Haven't tried CAS2 yet cause my other RAM won't do CAS2 (64MB + 128MB + 256MB). Nice deal.... might have to get some more.

I'll edit the main message to reflect the increase from $42 to $50.

Howdy,

OK, I just had to order some. I really did not need any, but at that price I just had to. :)
I started off by putting 2 in the cart and then started to check out. I again looked at the final price and just had to get 2 more sticks. So for approx. $196 (va tax) I picked up 1gb of PC133 memory.

I received the memory in a static bag in a box with peanuts. The triangle brand here. So far it all works great in the 2 systems I stuck it in.

very nice deal.

$42 again. And the stock market crashed big time. So if the market goes down again tomorrow, may be it will go down to $35?

Man, I am so tempted. What do you guys think? 512 MB of this stuff or 256 of Mushkin. All I really care about is stability at 133 cas 3. Not looking for top performance.

You probably should go with this. Most indicate it works fine. Of course, ONLY if your MB supports it.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. I'll be getting a kk266, so support shouldn't be a problem.
