If you use google checkout it is $10 less. SMOKING DEAL!!!!!

**silverphoenix** · 04-30-2007, 08:24 AM

Bastards, lol I bought this last week sans rebate. You think I can try to send the rebate in anyways.

**Soker** · 04-30-2007, 08:26 AM

Nice deal! Thanks.

**badhabit** · 04-30-2007, 12:42 PM

What a deal! Ordered my set just now with Google Checkout $10 offer. To think I paid more for my 1GB PC2-6400 Tracer kit just a few months ago, than for this 2GB kit...

**5-Clicks** · 04-30-2007, 01:47 PM

just to confirm, these do use D9GMH, right?

Yeah

**dogsx2** · 04-30-2007, 02:28 PM

Where are the naysayers that it cannot go lower and has bottomed out??

**dekruyter** · 04-30-2007, 02:37 PM

Wow; you speak the truth; If only I waited 2 days.

But, 2.2 volts to get 4-4-4-12?

Ballistix have always been rated at 2.2v...

DDR667 3-3-3-12(?) at 2.2v
DDR800 4-4-4-12 at 2.2v
DDR1000 5-5-5-15(?) at 2.2v

I am betting this will run 800 at less than 2.2v....

BTW, I got in on this but was careless and when I got to shipping..I saw std and thought this equaled free..so I hit submit....WRONG STAND was $6 shipping...BUDGET is free

**FLMJIGGY** · 04-30-2007, 09:41 PM

It would run it on a tad less.

Should do 4 4 4 = 500Mhz at 2.4 or so.

**dice** · 04-30-2007, 11:25 PM

Crazy deal! Too bad they don't ship overseas.

Thank for the explanation on volts; I just ordered this set. We'll see if my DS3 Rev. 3.3 (I have a Rev. 1.0 too) can run them without the BSOD, or if it kills them.

WHY ARE THESE SOO CHEAP??? It smells soo much like the Patriot Extreme Performance DDR800 that used to have Micron then switched to Elpidia and the price dropped like $100 overnight. And now that same NON-MICRON patriot extreme is like $114 after rebate!!! I am thinking about switching to these Ballistix but dont want to get burned again like I did on the Patriot.

**little_scrapper** · 05-01-2007, 07:47 AM

And to noob ftw how do you know they will be GMH?? Or is that the only chips they use and ever will use?

**p0tter** · 05-01-2007, 07:52 AM

buy.com 's reselleratings are not very good.

well that is always a possiblity but Ballistix DDR1000 were just $131 from mwave so at $100...not too far off

the DDR1000 have always been good D9 chips..AFAIK all the ballisitx have used D9

What's this retail for on newegg?

Crucial is owned by Micron. Why would Micron use non-micron chips in their own memory? It could possibly be lower grade Micron if anything.

They have and will from time to time. They do it when they run out of their own memory.

**little_scrapper** · 05-01-2007, 08:33 AM

I think I have the solution to buy.coms poor service. You order the part, then you log back on and cancel your order a couple hours later. Not wanting to loose the sale, they will just process your order and ship immediately to avoid your cancelation.

Think that would work?

Might be one of those things that if you have a good transaction you dont post feedback.. but if you get screwed you post angry feedback

I've never had a problem with them..Other then Newegg, where the post mean nothing, how many people take the time to rate the online store where they bought something.

I never have rated an online retailer positive. I have rated some negative.
