Wow, $120 for 512mb. Thats not bad... Of course, im still a cheap *** and waiting for it to be sub-100.

This should be in Cyber Deals, imo.

Are those just highly-overclocked CH-5 chips or what's the deal with them? There so cheap, it makes it highly suspect, no?


edit: I've never bought from Hardcore Cooling, so I'm not sure. But they have a high ResellerRating score, prolly about 90% of theri customers are hardcore gamers/oc'ers.

The 512MB PC3700 WinBond-Chip memory has a high timing (2.5-3-3-6 2T), but is advertised with a decent Sandra score of 3580/3580 Int/Float.

I would stick with Mushkin where you know what settings you will get (222 stock) instead of a "maybe it will run good". No doubt these are good overclockers usually but for a couple bucks why take the chance?

I've ordered from HC Cooling a few times and they're very good.

Those modules are all o/c'd PC3200's. There's a few OCZ's that use 4.5ns IC's but way overpriced IMO.

$50-80 is a little more then what I would call "a couple bucks".

512MB Mushkin (2-2-2) PC3200/PC3500 LVL2 costs $180 (After 10% Coupon) with shipping cost included.

While HardCore Cooling is offering 512MB PC3500, with the exact same chips used in Mushkin LVL2, for $130 (inc. shipping).

And, as Bobby said, TwinMos PC3700 512MB is going for $120 at memoryx.net .

Getting a WinBond CH-5-chip memory for $100 for 512MB is a good deal, if it can be checked out first.

add:
HC Cooling selling $120 for OCZ EL DDR400 is a good deal. The next cheapest is $135 over at GameVE.Com. OCZ EL-series performs on-par if not better then Corsair LL and Mushkin LVL2 memory.
