Budget PC4000 in Canada?

Snipester · Aug 4, 2004

The only thing i've seen so far is Kingmax for $149 for 1 stick of 512 PC4000.

I can't get ANYTHING else...... Other then corsair and OCZ which retail for 500$+ for a gig kit which is rediculous......

i am not paying 500+ for ram......

Any suggestions?

Canada Computers says they have to wait for a shipment next week

and that takes time..... Is there anywhere else i can get cheapo PC4000?

not cheepo performance either from what i hear. something like 375cdn for a gig. hey, atleast it ain't 500.

Since you live in Toronto and you want kingmax and don't feel like waiting for it go to Spadina and College and walk College St. towards Bathhurst and you will find a lot of stores. There have to be at least 15 stores and some one should have some Kingmax for you.

Check these guys out. I saw some good deals. Are you going to buy 2*512 sticks? Your mb has dual channel ddr right? If you are you should try buying them in pairs, you might save a couple bucks.

CORSAIR
Platinum Edition
PC4000 512MB
DDR Ram 500MHz CL3.0
with Platinum Heat Spreader $179.98

for the $30, I would go corsair

do you need a gig? just a suggestion, but I would prefer to get a kickass pair of optimized 2*256 sticks vs 2 sticks of 512 value ram.

the non hardcore kingmax pc4000 has d5 hynix chips. should run well/...

jaydog · Aug 5, 2004

you like the kingmax flapperhead?, I've never really heard of them as a good ram manufacturer. I would like to know(I'm just a 1 star)

Kingmax PC4000 has Hynix modules? Thats wierd I thought Kingmax made their own modules, why would they use someones elses?

Snipester · Aug 6, 2004

kimgmax uses the hynix d5.......

anyways i'll check out these sitesz.. I was looking for a dual channel 1 gig heh

Snipester · Aug 6, 2004

P.S. What is the Shika X ram??

Hynix?

sounds fishy

go to tigerdirect.ca store on woodbine or check them out online at www.tigerdirect.ca the Ultra they sell works pretty good

Snipester · Aug 6, 2004

Does anyone know what memory they use on the shika ram?

You can't order from Newegg? $103 for 512MB of Kingmax PC4000:

I've got one stick and I really should get the other stick.....But I want a 6800GT first :drool:

You can't order from Newegg?

They don't deliver to Canada. :bang head

ClarkKent · Aug 6, 2004

Yeah whats the deal with newegg not delivering to Canada? We are right here can't be too difficult to ship it. They could just charge more for shipping whats the hassle.

It appears that Shika X ram uses Hynix B chips just like the high end OCZ PC4400EL Gold. Here is a memory test on that Shika X Ram. Looks like the people at AnandTech really liked them.

I looked at the prices

its $398 for the shika PC4000
or $422 for the Corsair XMS plat PC4000

What would u get???

ClarkKent · Aug 7, 2004

If it came down to $24 between Corsair and some other brand, even though the review I read was good, I would have to go with the Corsair.

Or do what I did. Go to a few of the most popular computer stores and ask the inventory guy to see if they have Hynix chips on the GENERIC PC3200 modules. If not, ask them to order some. Since the D43's were designed by hynix to run at DDR400 speeds AND are the only IC's used by hynix on PC3200 modules, then you are guaranteed to get D43 chips if you order Hynix RAM from your vendor.

Right now I have a set of D43's that I bought as generic PC3200, and I'm running 287 FSB 1:1 prime stable (2X256).

My experience with the 512 MB sticks are that they only clock to about 267-275 FSB stable.

I found that www.anitec.ca has guaranteed Hynix modules in DDR400 for quite a cheap price if you're willing to get the memory shipped rather than buy locally.

If you got the time go from store to store hand picking Kingston Valueram that either contains Hynix DT B43 chips or some micron mT-5BC chips.

PC-3200 DDR (400MHZ) 512MB... $112.95
