After about 2 weeks on backorder, the infamous BH-5 is back at ZZF. Oh my have the prices skyrocketed or what?

$83 for a 256 stick... Damn

If BH-5 is proving to be such a good seller, why did they stop making it? Does it cost more to produce than others?

P.S. I answered my own question by reading this thread

Man, this stuff is getting insanely expensive. The thing is, if you can provide the volts, BH-6 is every bit as good. At any rate, I got these same sticks of RAM from Newegg about a week and a half ago for $67 each. It's the most I've paid for RAM in a long time, but a good deal in comparison to these prices.

pretty expensivem, twice the price of the ram you sold me. I had bh5 too but bad luck with it. I can do 226fsb with your ram so far, thats good enough, Im I wouldnt bother paying $$$$$ for bh5 at this point. corsair value is good stuff, sometimes overclocking just as well as bh5

I paid right around $240 for 1Gig of Kingston KHX3200/512. It was well worth the cost. I've honestly never seen a system boot so fast before. I need to run Sysmark on and SiSandra on it.

I bought a gig of the hyperx pc3200 non-a off of ebay a few weeks ago. I'm glad I jumped that when I did. The same seller jacked up the price to $350 buyitnow

Just to clarify, the HyperX w/o the A in the product number is the BH5? Does this also apply to 1GB kits? So this KHX3200K2/1G from zzf is BH5?

Yes it should be. I went with KHX3200/512 X 2 from ZZF instead of the dual channel kit to save money. The memory I received was definately BH5. Besides my A64 3000+ wouldn't take advantage of it anyways.
