HP 1GB DDR II - 667 MHz $7 AR

[annaconda]

Link (http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/HP/PX976AT/L49299/)

Free Shipping and 5407 in stock.

[interested]

Nice price after MIR, and they allow up to 5 per user/household etc.

The rebate states its also valid in Canada, however that link you listed does not ship to Canada.

Wonder if there is another site that sells these and does ship to Canada?

Update: Found some canadian sites that sell these, however cheapest was like $80 which makes this deal awful for Canadians :(

[annaconda]

yeah the good thing is 5 limit

[SippieCup]

its 2 bucks AR now + free shipping.


extremely hot.

[Insomniac3438]

I bought four of these and just wanted to let you guys know about them a little:

First, when you look on the box near the barcodes, it says "CRUCIAL TECH" on there. So this is probably Crucial ram, but just re-named for HP and sold under their name. Another reason I think this is Crucial ram is the IC. I bought a cheap 1GB stick of generic Crucial ram a couple months back, and it was Micron D9HNL. These have the same ICs, D9HNL.

Also, the rebates supposedly are extremely fast. Some people only have to wait as little as 3 weeks. The usual time from sending everything out to receiving check is around 3-4 weeks.

This is a fantastic deal. My only gripe is the warranty is only 1 year, but for $3, it's hardly something to complain about :)

[ghostchamber]

I don't even have an MB to put these in, and I think I might buy them.

[kent]

I also got Cricual D9 memory.

Kinda..beats the shit out of the $500 I paid a year ago for 4x1GB of Micron D9GMH per G.Skill "HZ" series

[Old Hippie]

I did a review and got another $10.00 discount. :p

[annaconda]

Good GOD $2.99, what do i do i want to buy, must resist. I want to buy :D

[j3ff86]

I don't even have a DDR2 motherboard and I'm tempted to buy this :eek:

[techdude01]

Is the ram really system specific like it states on their website? Like only certain mobo's will support them?

[jojo1224]

:eek:$15 for 5gb:eek: Damn if it was ddr not ddr2 i would buy 5 sticks right now.

[FanZ]

no. any ddr2-667 board will run it.

mine's at 720 still on 1.8v, even though d9hnl's micron budget chips.

i paid $10 per stick, and i thought that was cheap. oh well. i'll get some more when it's free (according to slickdeals, a vendor is offering it for free after rebates, but quite a few people dont trust them)

forgot to mention, timings suck though

[techdude01]

Oh well, I bit, always good to have ram for some budget basic builds.

[ICE_9]

Ordered 5. I can get another co-worker to hook me up with another 5 hopefully.:eek:

[owkia]

For the 5 rebates I assume you can just throw all 5 UPCs in one envelope with one rebate form, correct? I'd just hate to put it all in one to find that they require 5 seperate forms, which would be extremely annoying.

[ickywu]

:eek:$15 for 5gb:eek: Damn if it was ddr not ddr2 i would buy 5 sticks right now.

Lol. Time might be passing you by, JoJo. In fact, it might be lapping you...

[Lupine]

You can also step up to DDR2-800 for a few bucks more:

$28.86 shipped less $20 MIR

[stevedave]

jumped and got 4 of the 667 if they are crucial then they shouldn't have a problem bumping up to 800 if I need them too.

[eddie500]

WOw this memory is really tanking, I remember some months ago people thought DDR2 was cheap then. They wanted to stock up on it, and it was a lot more than it is now.

I guess the only way the price of this DDR2 memory has to go is DOWN.

[aldamon]

Man, $15 shipped AR for 5GB of RAM? I'm in but I don't know what I'm going to do with it. :D

For the 5 rebates I assume you can just throw all 5 UPCs in one envelope with one rebate form, correct?

Yes, this is confirmed at Slickdeals.

That's correct. And you don't need to include the originals. Photocopies are perfectly acceptable for this rebate offer. When you get each stick, there's a sticker on the front with a bunch of different barcodes. Just take a photocopy of each set of barcodes for each stick you buy, and you should be all set.

And since none of the sites that sell this ram seem to list specs:

1.8V, 5-5-5-15

Also, this is single-sided memory. Not sure how important this is, but I thought I should mention it.

[annaconda]

I hate you annaconda. I bought 2 :D

[DyNe__]

I purchased 5 sticks at antonline for $108 including shipping... $8 AR for 5x1gb.

[ShLoNkY]

I am assuming that this is a legit place to order from? I have never ordered from them.

Thanks in advance.

[Choder]

Ordered 5. Great deal! Thanks OP.

Ok some one mentioned they are single sided. So does it work with Double sided memory sticks,

[Indignity]

I hate you annaconda. I bought 2 :D

I hate you too :P

Gonna have to dig up some $$ somehow!

[bpizzle1]

Ok some one mentioned they are single sided. So does it work with Double sided memory sticks,


hmm ive never thought of that before. ive always just bought ram all at once, so it's always been all the same stuff.

i dont see why they wouldnt work though, the placement of the memory chips shouldnt effect the function....if im missing something here please tell me because i ordered 2 sticks of this stuff to go in a system with 2gb of double sided ddr2-667.

edit: after a quick google of the subject, i found out they will work together in a system.....but im still looking to see how it effects dual-channel functionality....if anyone knows the answer save me some time, and let me know haha.

edit2:...................i should have just used wikipedia in the first place...........

"two or more DDR/DDR2 SDRAM memory modules must be installed into matching banks, which are usually color coded on the motherboard. These separate channels allow each memory module access to the memory controller, increasing throughput bandwidth. It is not required that identical modules be used, but this is often recommended for best compatibility for dual channel operation. It is possible to use a single-sided module of 512 MiB and a double-sided module of 512 MiB in dual-channel configuration, but how fast and stable it is depends on the memory controller.

[Insomniac3438]

Ok some one mentioned they are single sided. So does it work with Double sided memory sticks,

In my system I have a DFI Infinity P965-S. All four ram slots filled with the following types of ram:

- 1GB stick of generic Corsair ram - DDR2-667 - Double sided
- 1GB stick of generic Crucial ram - DDR2-667 - Single sided
- 2 x 1GB of the generic HP ram that is on sale - DDR2-667 - Single sided

Not overclocking at all. Running at DDR2-667 with 5-5-5-15 timings at 1.8V, and no problems whatsoever. They're all running in dual channel as well:

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/8825/69837530dr5.jpg

I'm thinking of taking out the Corsair and Crucial sticks and using my other two HP sticks, just so they're all identical should I want to overclock them in the future. But currently, no issues of any kind with how it's set up.

[vbrtrmn]

I hate you annaconda. I bought 2 :D

OT: annaconda has a split personality now.. or maybe this isn't a new development.

lol, man when i posted this deal. I made a commitment that i would not buy this, because i have spent so much money last year that you cannot imagine. Now when i see $2 that commitment dies in a flash, so i am angry on myself that i would not buy it if i would not have posted it on the first place.

Just trying to be funny :D

[ICE_9]

If any of us bought these because we needed them, I would be shocked!:eek:

Very well said, i already have 16GB of DDR2 memory, but still ordered 2 sticks :D

[cc2918]

some says over the oc..
these are micron d9 or samsung chips

[Insomniac3438]

some says over the oc..

All 4 of mine were Micron D9HNL.

[Lancid]

I ordered five sticks on the 19th from antonline.com and recevied them today (22nd). All five were Micron D9HNL.

[Prentice]

Are these really good or what? I got me 2 1GB sticks at 3$ AR lol! Should I stock up on 2 more since they are so cheap or are they cheap for a reason?

[Insomniac3438]

Are these really good or what? I got me 2 1GB sticks at 3$ AR lol! Should I stock up on 2 more since they are so cheap or are they cheap for a reason?

They only seem to be cheap because they're under the HP name. That, and they probably have way too many and are trying to unload them. That's honestly the only reason I can see as to why the price is so low after rebate.

As for the quality, they look great. As I said earlier, on the box for each stick of ram are the words "CRUCIAL TECH". Leads me to believe this is just Crucial ram rebranded as HP. Also, the ICs are D9HNL. I would say at least 800 Mhz is achievable, probably higher.

Here's some testing done with Micron D9HNL chips. These sticks look like the exact same thing I got:

Guy achieved DDR2-900 at 5-5-5-15 with stock volts (1.8V). For $3 (or less if you order through ANTonline), this is the best deal on DDR2 ram I've ever seen.

[AmongTheChosenX]

i'm definitly buying 5 sticks of this stuff!

[annaconda]

Ok about the rebates. We have to make sure how can we file all the rebates togather.

[brewcrew814]

Thanks OP!!!
In for 2 although I don't need at this moment. Slowly obtaining parts for a SFF build.
Now just need a good deal on mATX MB and processor :D

[xeetim]

what's the voltage on these memory? my intel board can only handle 1.8v.

[AmongTheChosenX]

i'm pretty sure its 1.8 volts. higher than 1.8 is usually for high performance DDR2-800 kits/sticks.

[Insomniac3438]

what's the voltage on these memory? my intel board can only handle 1.8v.

They're 1.8V, 5-5-5-15 timings.

As for the rebate, here's what I did, which seems to be what most people are doing:

- For all the sticks you buy, use one rebate form.

- There's a spot on one of the sheets for the rebate that asks for the serial number. I don't think this is necessary to fill out, but some people have put down the S/C number located on the stick of ram and got their rebates just fine.

- Each box that contains the individual stick of ram has a sticker on it. That sticker has a bunch of barcodes. Photocopy that set of barcodes for each separate stick of ram you buy and send it in. Also, for me at least, there was a small sticker on the side of the box with a single barcodes. I photocopied that as well. I was able to fit all of the necessary barcodes onto 3 sheets of paper. Chances are, you'll need an extra stamp when sending in all the forms/photocopies due to the weight of the envelope.

- And the rebates are extremely fast. 3-4 weeks for most from the time you send it out to the time you receive a check.

[owkia]

Is anyone else having any problems with their secure checkout? Google checkout worked fine for me, but I tried placing two orders with their secure checkout selected and both times I got a blank confirmation screen. I sent them an email and they said they saw that I tried to place an order, but it didn't go through.

[Trombe]

Anyone have an idea what chips they might be using in the AH058AT 800MHz sticks?

[ghostchamber]

Does anyone know what date the rebate has to be postmarked by? Because my order is still processing.

[AmongTheChosenX]

well it expirecs on the 31st of january, so i would imagine the second week of february.

[owkia]

The rebate form says that it must be postmarked within 30 days of the invoice date.

[vbrtrmn]

Okay, $2.99 is unbeatable, I don't even have a DDR2 PC and I had to buy this.

Mod, please give annaconda a special title :)

[Cobalt2112]

Bought 5 sticks as well. Ordered a few days ago, from CostCentral.com.

Someone told me that they put it in a P35 board and it was OK. Is anyone using this ram on a P35 board @ 667mhz or O/C higher?

[Jailer]

In for 2 and I also don't have anything to put it in. But at this price I have to at least pickup 2.

[annaconda]

:DMine Shipped Yesterday and will be here Today.

was yours shipped from Erie, PA?

thanks

[techdude01]

I ordered 5 as well, shipped yesterday and arriving tomorrow. Shipped from Norcross, GA.

[blairellis]

Holy crap. Ordered mine yesterday, and it showed up here already.

[ICE_9]

Mine are coming from GA also. Expected next week though.

[I3roknI3ottle]

just ordered 5 sticks for myself, man all these rock bottom deals are really helping me throw together budget beater systems for family and clients and myself :D

wow, you'd think that since i live all of like an hour from there, they would have shipped my order out from there....but no...mine shipped from PA.

Thats awesome. It might be the simple fact that the warehouse in GA ran out, and they had to ship from their PA location. Or they simply dont use logic or common sense. :p

[ICE_9]

Maybe they did it to make it a little more legitimate not charging you tax.

Its the volume of sales and costcentral.com isn't paying out the rebates. They are taking the 22.95 for themselves. HP is paying the 20 bucks back from each stick.

[Cobalt2112]

Got my 5 sticks!

Put 2 in a PC (pulled out PC2-4300)... I ran 3 iterations of MemTest86 v3.0 and it said all was OK.

[annaconda]

Installed with Double sided stick in my server works like a charm 4GB total.

Ok question about Rebates: It says need a serial number, the serial number is the number on the stick S/C# right?

And we can send all the rebates in one envelope, with copy of UPC barcodes ?

I don't know if the Serial number is the S/C#, but that's what people are doing and it's working without a hitch. And everything goes in one envelope. One rebate form for all the sticks you got, including photocopies of ALL barcodes you see on the outside of the boxes. Not sure if they're all needed, but better safe than sorry.

I'd also be sure to add a second stamp because of weight issues.

[blairellis]

Took mine to the post office and the lady said it only required a 41 cent stamp because I was under weight on mine. I put all the info they needed in one envelope too. 2 pages of photocopies of the barcodes, 2 pages from the rebate form, original invoice and it came out to the standard 41 cents. I would take it to the post office to have them weigh it if you are not sure.

[annaconda]

I was reading the rebate form, and we definately need to send copies or original UPC from each memory box.

So every one is confirming the serial#, i mean S/C# is serial number ?

[techdude01]

Im going to make a copy of every damn bar code I see just to be safe.

[dmkc1207]

I bought 4 sticks...don't ask me why...but I bought 4 anyway...I have no idea why...I guess I just can't stand to pass up 4gb for under $12

[r00k]

in for 5. dammit i need to get away from this forum.

between hot deals and fs/ft, im dyin here! :p

[annaconda]

I should have bough 5 total. Oh well no computer too use them in :D every computer is filled up with RAM.

[bpizzle1]

my order came in today, but i had a question about what im supposed to make copies of for the rebate. the RAM itself had 2 stickers on each stick with barcodes that i scanned and printed. however, where are the upc codes located? are they on the cardboard boxes that the plastic cases came in? i had to take the RAM to my girlfriend's house because i dont have a scanner at my place that works atm, but i didnt bring the little individual cardboard boxes.

[CentronMe]

Ordered five sticks, this along with a new E2200 to replace the aging P4 640 will make for a nice VMWare server.

Got the ram today. Put all four stix in a p5n-e sli.

4-4-4-12 works at both 667 and 800
5-5-5-18 works at both 667 and 800

Running prime95, while watching porn, while backing up a dvd, while converting movies onto my psp, while updating BF2 with patch 1.41 while posting this post and everything is running smooth as a pimp.

This is some good shit still can't believe I got it for 12 bucks.

[Prentice]

Got mine in. Wone be able to test until... who knows? I work 7/12's lol!

Very fast shipping and the packing it came in had to cost over the actual cost of what I ordered lol!

[Gilthanis]

Well...I broke down and bought 5....I'm debating on another 5 for another residence. This is waaay too good to pass up. I know I will get my money back out of them from custom builds, not to mention ram will go back up just as it has in the past as DDR-3 starts to come down.

[mattc]

rebate applies to 800 mhz too. bought 4 @ $8.36 each. They only show 40 in stock, but now it is 36.

edit- need to read posts first. already mentioned several times.

Awesome deal, though.

[F3rrum]

I ordered 4 but don't even have a DDR2 compatible mobo to put it in.

Planning on a new gaming build this summer but was planning on going DDR3. Is DDR2<<DDR3? Can't imagine availability will be an issue in 1-2 years but will performance be?

/Read that DDR3 mobos are compatible with DDR2 so not even an issue now.

[annaconda]

Don;t expect DDR3 to be that cheap in the next year or so. I am sticking with DDR2 as long as i can. :D

[Cobalt2112]

Is there a MOBO that I can put this memory in that I can also put one of those fancy E8400 cpus??

[ickywu]

I ordered 4 but don't even have a DDR2 compatible mobo to put it in.

/Read that DDR3 mobos are compatible with DDR2 so not even an issue now.

You can buy a couple mb's that run either ddr2 OR ddr3 but it's not like a mb using ddr3 is inherently backwards compatible with ddr2.

This is a really good deal on 667 memory. But we should probably remember this is memory designed for a 533 MHz system bus. Even if you can overclock it to 800, 1333 is still pretty far over the horizon for this ram.

[kent]

The Micron chips I got clock up to 1100MHz (4x1GB in a P5B Deluxe) at 5-5-5-15 2.1v

[qwertyaas]

The Micron chips I got clock up to 1100MHz (4x1GB in a P5B Deluxe) at 5-5-5-15 2.1v

I tried two that I got. Paired with my Ballistix, they wouldn't post over 800MHz at 5-6-5-18 at 2.0v. Didn't try any higher. I bought 2 more gig for my brother's system, so I might try those to see how those clock.

[kent]

Maybe I got really lucky.

In my opinion, they're "just as good as" the G.Skill "HZ" series RAM I use in the signature. They're D9GMH and these are D9HNL I believe.

I got micron chips too, but i did not tried to overclock them. I might give it a try.

The stock number is perpetually hanging around 2000. Every time it gets close to going under, they add a hundred or two more.

[Cobalt2112]

Not quite, I have 2 boxes with DDR2 ( ATI RC-410 chipset ) that have 1*1GB of RAM. When I pull that one out and put either 1 or 2 of those HP sticks, Windows BSOD at bootup.

any MOBO with DDR2 memory slots will work. :confused:

[goodcooper]

just payed 115 for 5 gigs of ram and i STILL think its a good deal...


when i get 100 in rebates back it'll be like stealing memory from these people

[kent]

Now, I didn't intensively test them at 1100MHz, I was just screwing around one day.

It passed one round of memtest86+ (bootable CD) at 2.1V at 5-5-5-12 @ 1100MHz

[horseflesh]

I have 5 of these, also Micron chips. I just ordered the IP35-E from the Newegg deal... Now I just need to find a deal on a decent CPU with some room to OC.

[dranom]

the chips i got are D9 doesnt clock that well one pair got to 800 4-4-4-12@2.1v
but when i change to others you need loose timings to get to 800mhz

[Connundrum1]

I ordered 3 sticks of this ram and i have tried 2 of them so far. I cannot get the 1gb sticks to show up as anything more then 512mb sticks. I am running on a crappy ECS P4M800PRO-M V2 mobo and these 1gb sticks are showing up the same as my old 512mb stick. i've tried flashing the BIOS and anything else i can think of. anyone having any similar issues?

[annaconda]

Looks like you mobo does not support single sided memory.

[goodcooper]

srsly doubti t though... sounds like something is broken on your board

No if something would have broken it would not work on the first place. I had this problem with my OLD AMD Motherboard, and when i installed 1GB sticks it was reading 512MB, any body else has any thoughts on this ?

Nope, it's dead. They raised the price before rebate to $33.

Thing is, this deal has come and gone for months now, so don't be too surprised if you see it drop back down to around $3 after rebate. Just keep an eye on it and it should go back down eventually.

No if something would have broken it would not work on the first place. I had this problem with my OLD AMD Motherboard, and when i installed 1GB sticks it was reading 512MB, any body else has any thoughts on this ?

Well, ram incompatibility is a black art and a common problem. You have to grant it shows up on AMD mbs more than you'd like. I think you said you'd flashed up to the current bios. That's step 1.

Be handy to try other 1 or 2 g sticks that are known good. Also worthwile to remove any other ram and try one stick in slot 1 of bank 0 and in slot 1 of bank 1. Also worthwile to check for bios options and REDUCE the fsb from 133 (quad pumped 533) to 100 (aka quad pumped 400), if possible

Next, I'd check the manual or best .pdf for any tips: Are ANY single slot 1 gig ok? Are ONLY single bank (dual slot) 1 gig sticks approved? If the first is no and the second yes, (GASP) may be time to call the mb tech support or ram (in this case, HP, sorry) support to look for help. I didn't catch the mb brand and model, but there may be forum support for it.

I don't know how old the mb is, but remember how slow AMD was to get on to ddr2 and if it's an early release of initial support this could just be a hard incompatibility. The odds favor a configuration problem as opposed to a defect.

RAM problems show up on Intel boards.

Remember everyone going OMG E6300 + massive 1066MHz RAM + Intel i965 = OVERCLOCK

And everyone built their machines and the SPD on their RAM was set at some astronomical value and the board was like "I'm not booting until you put some JEDEC in me and then we'll try this again once YOU bump MY voltage."

Does anyone have the original rebate form for this RAM? I ordered 5 sticks and meant to grab the rebate forms later, but the offered ended, and the forms aren't there for me to get anymore. So I was wondering if anyone had the blank forms still from their purchase?

[Insomniac3438]

Here's the rebate form should anyone need it:

I ordered 3 sticks of this ram and i have tried 2 of them so far. I cannot get the 1gb sticks to show up as anything more then 512mb sticks. I am running on a crappy ECS P4M800PRO-M V2 mobo and these 1gb sticks are showing up the same as my old 512mb stick. i've tried flashing the BIOS and anything else i can think of. anyone having any similar issues?


Here is what ECS says your board can use...that is probably your problem.


Single-channel DDR memory architecture
2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM socket support up to 2 GB
2 x 240-pin DDR DIMM socket support up to 2 GB
Support DDR400/333 DDR SDRAM or DDR2 533/400 DDR2 SDRAM


Here is the link in case you can't find it. If this wasn't your board, I appologize.

Typically memory will try to slow itself down if it has to due to mixed speeds of chips or older boards that don't support the faster clock speed, but I have indeed ran into many boards where it had to be the exact speeds the board stated in the specs sheet.

I have to say this memory works great for $2.99. :p I'm not overclocking it, but it's working fine in two computers so far. What a steal.

GOT MY $40 REBATE BACK YESTERDAY :D

[Insomniac3438]

GOT MY $40 REBATE BACK YESTERDAY :D

Same here. Got my $80 back. 3 weeks from sending out rebates to getting a check. Far and away the quickest rebate I've ever sent in.

[annaconda]

Yeah quickest. The check came from HP, just want to inform every one. So don;t distroy your mail if you see from HP that might be your Rebate check.


CHECK WILL BE FROM HP

[blairellis]

Got mine yesterday too. $100 bucks. It actually cashed too ;)

[kamal007]

anyone have an extra one that they dont use? i only ordered one and they wont work in dual channel. give me a pm and we can discuss the price.

thanks

[Blazestorm]

Can't wait for this to come back, I need some cheap ram for some builds...

right now it's $18 but I want that rebate again :)

[Gilthanis]

Has anyone received their rebates on these yet? I'm going on my 7th week and still zilch. They set 6-8, so not as quick as others had mentioned in the past.

[ituggle]

it says $18.08 ea. and I don't see a rebate anywhere. :confused:

[horseflesh]

I did get my rebate. I don't remember how long it took, but it was definitely faster than 7 weeks.

[Phimp]

good deal...

but that's it... I'm admitting defeat...
I will never find PC3200 memory (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220037) for cheap.

:(

[ICE_9]

Still waiting on my rebate too. I held on to it for a while though.

[BURNTOIL3372]

damn missed out on deal , any1 want to sell any extras?

[JaYp146]

damn missed out on deal , any1 want to sell any extras?

Just picked up one @ the FS/T section for $15 shipped. :)

[BURNTOIL3372]

cool will check

[techdude01]

For you guys that have not received your rebate check yet, dont lose hope. I mailed mine early in towards the end of January, and they just mailed me the check about 3 days ago. I sent an email two days ago to rebates.bpo@hp.com, and got a reply today. :)

[kent]

I called the number on the form and the check's in the mail!

[aldamon]

Got my $100 check last week.

Got my $100 rebate check today, with a check date of 3/13/08. Sent it just a few weeks ago. Still waiting on two rebates from elsewhere sent at least two months ago, so kudos to HP

[qwertyaas]

How long did it take to get the check? It's been over a month and a half for me. Still nothing.

[Choder]

I got my check today.

[Gilthanis]

Just got my check today. Nothing like the very last minute on the deadline. At least I got it.

[Cobalt2112]

Got my check today as well! Check was cut on 3/17 for $100 (5 * $20)

Can't wait for this deal to come around again!

[stevedave]

Got my 80bucks this weekend.

And The ram is running 4.4.4.12 at 900mhz........this is in my top 5 best deals I have ever gotten, just under the buy one get her friend for free deal I got in Vegas.

[qwertyaas]

Just got my $80 as well! Mine is only running at 800Mhz @ 5-6-5-18 but I only tried two sticks out of the four (have it paired with my Ballistix). But for $3 each, who cares!

[ICE_9]

Still waiting on the rebate. At least Antec told me it would be May for my $30 rebate.

[baleedit]
