UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat 1G RAM for $20?

If this is a typo, then grab them before they fix it. Dell has 1GB sticks of PC100 for $19.99

? that can't be real... my shopping cart says it is... dell home shoppers even get $3.99 off for some reason...

what would I use it on that it would work? it's boggling my mind right now..:D

lol

if my computer could take it I'd buy it in a flash

it's ECC and registered too... I think I'm gonna get 5!

You can buy 5 for the price of 4!

I need one of those!!!

I can't use them because my slots take 512 max, but Im still buying a couple.

Does your PC use up to the amount it can? Like can your 512 slot use up to 512mb of the 1gb stick?

no, my pc takes 512 each slot, so max of 1.5G in my machine

annnnd looks like the cart at dell is now showing tech difficulties!

hmmmm... well if you can't get any... it looks like ubbdev has a few sticks left over for 29.95

it had to be a typo... the next lowest price in that category is 87.95 for a 512mb stick ...

Damnit! Me wanted RAM!

Get one.. or more...

I got 5gb for <$95 including tax and shipping

I ordered 5 gigs for 89 dollars including shipping. My server can use 4 of them. My dev box at home(WinNT) can use the other one, and my lil Win98 game machine can use the 2 256 dimms that I will have left over from my dev box. . that will still leave 2 256 meg Dimms left over for something.

That is.... If Dell comes through with my order.

Before you go hopping in and installing that, you do know that all Win9x (inc. ME) gives you an insufficient memory error if there is more than 512MB of system memory installed. However, Win2K will accept more than 512MB.

Why do I have a feeling this is Printer memory..? If so it doesn't have the same error checking as System memory..

It's PC 100 ECC registered 168 pin SDram

dell has taken the price down, as it was obviously a typo. now its time to see if they will follow through on this or not. i would imagine a LOT of people ordered these, as its been posted on some major tech forums around the net. btw pricewatch has theses for something like $249 - im willing to bet if Dell follows through thatll be dropping like mad as people sell these on auctions and such

I bought four, told a friend, as as he was checking out ran into the shopping cart problems. Thanks for the tipoff, Mark! ;-)

Coolness Mark! Congrats

Wow! That was nice I bought two sticks and it got confirmed! That saves me some money.

I bought five...

But, as I was closing my browsers down, I found another one open in which another five were in my shopping cart...

We'll see if Dell does follow-through on these, as the "confirmation" email also says:

"Thank you for ordering from Dell. We are delighted to have you as a
customer!
We are currently reviewing the order information you provided."

It goes on to give the order details like you have seen above, but that last sentence has me a little concerned.... we'll see how it turns out...

Hey Chris!

I'm too late the page is gone.

sounds like dell is shipping these, cause theyre starting to hit ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1256778761

current bid is $150, not bad for something that cost $20.

hhhmmmmm... ::counting on fingers and toes:: carry the 2...

I'm rich!!




::scribbles note to send Mark a nice coffee mug from the " U-Store "::

Not fair I dind't get it...

I didn't either....;)


"Dear Dell Customer,

Thank you for choosing Dell for your recent software and accessories purchase. We regret to inform you that a vendor error created erroneous price quotes for the Kingston memory product that you ordered, Dell part number 695695-4. The problem has since been corrected, but as a result we
are unable to fulfill your order. All orders that were affected by this issue have been cancelled, you will need to resubmit an order for any additional products that may have been placed during this time."


It was fun while it lasted...:D

I just got the same email.

I wonder about all those people that counted on those orders to fulfill ebay auctions. Shoulda waited till they had the memory, eh?

Really? I just got my order confirmation! My memory will be here in two days. Apparently those who ordered 3 and under got it honored. Those with more were considered resellers and denied.

--mark

Yes, I'm lying. I was denied too

Ack! It's gone now! I'm too late!!

You couldn't have got it. Everyone was denied because of the wrong info. So the request got cancelled.

The price of RAM has been dropping greatly as of late, but if someone was selling 1 GIG of RAM for $20 they would have to be insane.

That is unfortunate.
