Ballistix PC8500 $125.50 Tracer $136.50 *NO REBATE*

[dogsx2]

It seems that every time these go on sale someone always states the same baseless comment about these being some new or differente chip (the inference is always to a lower quality chip). You have nothing to support it, as there isn't a single pic out there that I am aware of a Ballistix PC2-8500 with a chip other than D9GMH or D9GKX.

The comments always something along the line that at these prices it must be something different and then someone comes along every time and posts a pic from a recent purchase showing that they are in fact D9(GMH or GKX). At some point guys need to quit worrying about the chips that are shipping with these Crucial Ballistix. To date they have all been quality D9 Micron chips...and the majority of the users are more than happy with them.

Once again, here is a pic of a recent purchase (pics from post dated 06/15/07)...these are D9GMH. Take it for what its worth.

I agree, seems dumb to always think that a lesser cost means a product of less quality. When AMD and Intel cut the cpu prices big time did they lower the quality of them? When LCD price are now less then half of what they were, are they lesser quality?

Also, they should read some of the results posted in the threads. I posted 3 sets of Crucial Ballistixs that did 600MHz. Are you going to get that with cheap, crappy chips?

They need to think about what they write before hitting the keys.
