Anyone want to buy my 2GB Ballistix DDR2-800 coming from buy.com?

This is ridiculous. We will talk about this time as the Golden Age of RAM buying. It will be looked upon with like the .com boom!!!!

[Insomniac3438]

Crap, this is awful. Every time I think I get a good deal on ram, something else pops up. First I get 2 x 1GB of A-Data DDR2-800 for $130... then I get the Firestix for $126... then 2 GB of Corsair DDR2-675 for $90... now this. I guess I'll get this set and sell my Corsair ram :D

Thanks to rvr2k3 for that coupon code. I wouldn't have jumped on these without it.

I am officially done with my rig. This is getting bad, I've gotta stop changing my mind! :)

Yeah, that coupon put me over the edge. I have 4 GB with nowhere to put them!

which RAM is "better"? The Ballistix Tracer that was a hot deal yesterday, or this stuff? They both seem to be really high level RAM....

I think the Tracers just have the flashy LEDs on them, but I could be wrong.

[techdude01]

OOS, whyyyyy! :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you're talking about the 8500, the Tracer and non-Tracer are the best RAM you'll ever come across. That stuff does 1200MHZ CL5 with on 2.25vdimm.

That's ridiculous stuff, I think I've heard about people getting those kind of speeds. I'm betting the DDR2-1000 Ballistix can still hold their own and push 1100 Mhz at least.

Looks like that deal didn't last long. I guess when word gets out that you can get 2 GB of some of the best DDR2 ram out there for $85 AR, it should probably sell out quick.

BTW, for anyone who has ordered, Crucial's rebate system seems to be pretty good. I've been told that they e-mail you once they receive the rebate and then provide you with a link to keep a check on the status of the rebate, as well as an ETA for when they ship out your check. Seems to be a lot better than most systems where you have no idea what the progress is with your rebate and don't know if everything is OK until you receive a check.

If these come back in stock at the right time I am definitely getting these!!!!

[Dethred]

Deal was most likely a price match. Look at the prices now.

[Lupine]

Oh man am I glad I popped on for a moment! Looks like I got my set ordered right before it went OOS. Was about to get a second set but too late. Wow. What a deal. :eek:

[creamypie]

Damn!! my time machine would've been done with these sticks. :p

[banksster]

MWAVE has these for $155 + a $40 MIR.

So $115 AR.
