Tiger Direct PC3500 256MB for $34.99 AR, Looks like Mushkin

Pretty smokin' deal here if you ask me (no idea how good Tiger Direct is with their rebates). Those look like Mushkin heatspreaders, but I dunno for sure.

-If anyone else has thoughts please post.

Deal

whoa, this is PC3500!! nevermine the thread title. MOD please update!! tks.

-'nother edit-

Just as a warning the rebate states only one per household, so if you're buying a pair of these, be sure to use a different name/addy so you can get two rebate checks.

More info.. according to this review, looks like this PC3500 contains winbond bh-5 chips.

I would. TigerDirect is absolutely horrible. In all likelihood you will either receive a dead product or the wrong product, and on top of that, your rebate will not come if it's a TigerDirect rebate.

Mushkin PC-3500 comes on Black PCBs and with the mushkin logo engraved on the heatspreader, definately not their stuff.

Nice deal if it were'nt for the MIR, I usually don't get them back...........so this one is not for me!

 

[Lithan]

Supposedly this stuff has 5ns winbond. At least according to the only review I could find of it.

 

[mattspalace]

Yeah, you're right this is definately not Mushkin memory. I did some looking around, and Ultra is a reseller of some sort.
The fact that it has Winbond BH-5 chips is a plus, but I don't like MIRs at all (too many bad experiences).
If 34.99 was the price out the door I might have bought it just to try it out, but someone else might be tempted.

Here's a link to Ultra's website..

just by looking at the website it looks like a teen owns the company

Yeah, you'll never see a rebate from TigerDirect. Don't bother, since for the same before rebate price you could get Buffalo or Twinmos.

 

[ryuen]

wheres a good place to find twinmos. memoryx.net is one of the few places i know. is there anywhere you can find it cheap? as cheap as buffalo?

is there other places besides newegg that sells buffalo cheaper?

 

[Big B]

Not sure...it's possible, but probably not by much, if anything after shipping.

I agree, Tiger Direct is awful. They screwed my dad over a few years back and I've not seen enough positive info to feel they've changed any. That, and their prices aren't exactly stellar usually.
Last I looked at their magazine, they were lying about stuff quite a bit. I won't trust 'em.

There are a few guys that sell TwinMOS (and I think Buffalo now also) on amdforums.com - last time I checked it really wasn't that much cheaper than just buying from MemoryX or Newegg.

This is a TigerDirect inhouse rebate, You will pay the full $65 for it.

Anandtech refuses to run TigerDirect ads because they scammed so many members there, for your information.
