Good Deal? 1GB PC3200 400DDR RAM

[dgridley]

I needed to upgrade my new computer from 256MB to 1GB so I can finally run XP without it choking.. found this on eBay after the local Radio Shack quoted me $118 for two 512MB sticks:

for a tad under $69 (including shipping).

Hopefully, it was a good deal.. guy has 100% feedback.

My new Chaintech Volari V3 SLV3-128 video card should be here tomorrow..

My "under $300" computer is now officially $400+.

can you go 1 gig + 256? since the 1 gig is just one stick?

btw, let me know about that vid card, I need one, and dont have much to spend

The 1 gig I bought is two 512mb chips.. not one chip.

The video card has pretty decent reviews.. I always check ePinions first and it's was 4 out of 5 stars.

The auction never mentioned the brand of memory, which IMO is very important. Cheap memory has been known to cause problems shortly down the road.

K-Byte is the brand.. it says so in the auction.

(2) 512 mb Sticks of Premium K-Byte DDR 400 Mhz RAM

Very good deal in my opinion. Usually 1 GB of PC3200 ram will set you back $85+
