Thats incredible. Kudos man on finding the deals. Keep it up. I want regular updates!!!
Come to think about it, I might pick up another 2gb of RAM. Any idea how those babies OC?
It SUCKS that RAM prices have crashed. LOL! I bought my 2gb for $200+, DDR2 800. Waaaaaaaaaaa!
This is a deal.

we need it....
maybe someday a sticky??
nice idea, but they will never sticky anything that has prices. Thanks Bill
| Quote : nice idea, but they will never sticky anything that has prices. Thanks Bill |
why, not? I could keep it updated like the PSU Ref Lists
I am aware of your intents, but stickies do not have prices, look at a few.

The PSU Reference list does and Mpilch keeps it up to date

thats $25 american..... good for you
wonder if that is the right RAM for my Dell?

That's not a sticky.
Nice thread by the way. I'll keep a look out for deals to PM you about.
Patriot modules are usually pretty high end so my guess is that they will OC quite nicely. Seeing as how they are DDR2 667, you will have a fair amount of head room. Head room is good, everything needs more head room.
Great idea for a thread.
They used to have a very easy and fast compare prices/find the best price on THG's main page. But I think they replaced it with a link to Car and Driver or This Old House or something- it may still be there somewhere in between all the junk on the page.
Here's another super deal, awesome overclocker:
Super talent 4-4-3-8 for $84 w/ free shipping on eWiz
http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=T800UX2GC4
If only there were Canadian deals in Canadian dollars.....most US places don't ship to Canuckland.......and if they did, when you factor in shipping and exchange rate there isn't any difference really.

You guys think that's bad, I bought 1 gig of DDR2 533 for $260 CDN back in early 2005, back when I was young and stupid, and bought a prescott-based system.

Don't worry you two, we all make mistakes.
dude, i got a dell.
i bought in september of 04. I got ddr2 and PCI Express right when they came out. Thats better than the alienware i was gonna get which had ddr1 and agp. im better off now.
| Quote : dude, i got a dell.

I use to work there Technical support, I know how great
they are. After working at dell, I desided to either build my own if I couldn't find it at there special outlet website. But yea with the PCI express and the ddr2, you have a better option to upgrade, but most people who buy a prebuilt computer, don't upgrade much, before they buy a new machine.
well im getting a gf7600gt soon from a friend for cheap.
btw ive got an XPS

That was at least a few years after they phased us out, and phased in India support. What ever problem that you have, make sure you are willing to put up with hang ups and transfers before you call tech support.

newegg has the P180 cases for 90 before S+H after MIR now. the BEST deal for those cases though is the Frys.com deal for $80 after MIR with free shipping. Shipping on cases can be $25.
The deal aint up now, but it will be eventually. it goes up and down in a cycle.
Sorry it is so late, I was gone this weekend.

the ECS mobo Fry's is "giving away" with the E6600 has AGP only and is not known as an OC mobo
| Quote : the ECS mobo Fry's is "giving away" with the E6600 has AGP only and is not known as an OC mobo |
