$109 for 512 winbond bh-5 :eek: :slobber: Nice find $100 cheaper than mushkin.
I've ordered from them 3 times and no problems, They've always shipped within 24hrs

I like selling point on their winbond 3200

True DDR 400, not that overclocked garbage that our competitors sell

Anyone try these? They were $129.99 no more than a month ago, so I'm surprised they are dropping the price so quickly. Maybe 512MB is not in much demand, but at this price it's cheaper than CH-5 so you'd think that if people were getting results we'd be hearing about it. My big concern is with the PCB.

Bad reseller. I won't buy from them due to a bad experience wherein I bought bh5's for 125$ ages ago and got Vdata 6ns under a heatspreader with a warrantee sticker so I voided my warrantee proving that these weren't bh5's (They couldn't do 2-2-2-5 above 140 or so). Their response was a slightly nicer worded "Screw you". Since that sticker had kept me from removing the spreader for 4 or 5 months... I couldn't dispute the charge with my CC.

You need to be very careful, They removed all reference to the BH-5 chips, which leads me to believe they are either sold out, or perhaps they weren't BH5 in the first place. They had some that specificly stated BH5 a couple weeks ago. Now they do not. Now SOME just say Winbond Chips
Instead they now simply say this:
If you were looking for Samsung chips, this will blow them out of the water! High Speed 0.13 micron chips using the same die as those in Winbond chips but for 1/2 the price
Whats the same DIE as those Windbond chips actually mean....To me it could mean anything, but tells me your not getting BH-5 :rolleyes:

Thats a BUYAIB.com scheme and is dishonest, thats probably why BUYAIB is #1 on my vendors I do not recommend list.

Got screwed from buyaib.com once!!!. I ordered ram 2 years ago 2 sticks of 256ddr. their cheapest, they have 3 grades. Didint work in any board. Called them and they said i sould of bought the "guaranteed compatable" ram.
An hour later, I called them back, Tested it in a Amd,intel,via,sis, Motherboards, I asked them what is there generic ram compatable with, since i've tried them all. Took them to a friends shop that has a mem tester stand alone. Sticks were dead.
Called them back, they said i mustve installed them wrong. Your beat.
Had a friend order a radeon 8500 2 years ago from them. They stuck a USPS label straight to the ATI box, and shipped it like that. Got beat all to hell, but the card worked.
I didnt pull the spreaders off the 2 sticks i bought, but i have tested them to 235 1:1 with 3.1 volts, 2-2-2-5 timings, so they have to be BH chips.
I needed to order some more, but seems they dont have them anymore. I've had good luck with geil 3500's, ordered 2 512's from newegg $215

now hardcorecolling has been fair to me.. but i just dont like
the fact the use that sticker to cover up the chips or those
heatspreaders.
