Generic Best Buy Ram - Not so generic.

Pygo · May 23, 2002

Hey folks, just thought I'd drop a note to say I got some ram from BestBuy and it was Infineon. If you look at the chips through the plastic package you can see the brandnames on the chips themselves and I just happened to get lucky.

Cheap too

I would never buy any computer parts from Best Buy. Retail stores, esp. large electronic chains, charge a lot more than places like NewEgg.

Two sticks of Mushkin PC2100 w/o heatspreader from FRY's $49.99 each. With 3.0v on it had it up to 145 fsb 5:4 ratio normal setting (CAS 2.5) = 362, not bad for memory that costs $70 at NewEgg. I have to put some sinks on it though.

It would probably have gone further but the PSU on my CTX monitor chose that moment to quit - I have to take it to CTX today.

Well msmasitti, thats your decision, but I know I got Cas2 pc133Infineon for 19$

Thats a good deal, considering RAM is like $25 now. When did you buy it...?

Because going to Best Buys website, the lowest 128 stick they have is PNY, for $40. :eh?:

My apologies! I keep on thinking I am a new person here...

Also, it is hard to tell, since this board doesn't show post counts... :eh?:

hehe, thank you Spec.

msmasitti- Actually it was about a week ago, 128 stick with some 10$ rebate deal out in Ks. I just thought it would be worth mentioning.
