PULLED: POSSIBLE VENDOR FRAUD

[IgoByte]

Not sure what exactly they are up to there, but I can understand the lack of people...Somehow it seems very reasonable that they can't afford to have a whole lot of people working around there with these kinds of prices. I've seen some of the lowest prices in general on many products on their website, and their shipping charges are fine. It appears as if they are actual shipping charges. I've recently read that Customer Support costs Dell $15 per phone call, so this issue of customer support is obviously great.

I would recommend that you guys who ordered from them don't jump the gun and instead just give them their week or two and let them handle it. This store is obviously underpowered, but that's the only way they can keep their prices at this level. If nothing happens after the two weeks (3 - 6 days for processing, and another 3 - 5 days for shipping), then you should get worried.

As for high-density memory, this 64x4 is correct. 256MB dimms would be labeled 32x4. This memory should be supported by the following chipsets:

VIA KX133, KT133, KT133a and Apollo Pro133a

No other chipsets should be able to support it.


On another note, if you want some good memory and premium customer service and support, as well as cheap fast shipment, Mushkin is currently running the following awesome deals:



EDIT: Had to remove links...Anyway, Mushkin is running some great deals on the PC133 SDRAM.


Hope this will help a few people out...

Oh, and on a whole other note, I don't work for either of the stores...

"kelly alexander ??? Igobyte, you better check/change those links"

What are you talking about? ? ?

 

[IgoByte]

Where do you see kelly alexander?

 

[clarkmo]

Looks like they shipped on 6/29 for a 6/21 order. I should have it 7/5 according to UPS. If anyone's still here I'll post my results.

This is high density 64x4, would it work or work well with my existing Kingston 128MB that's not high density? I have a KT133. Is it really that bad to mix this high density with my Kingston 128MB? (I don't think the Kingston one is high density)

 

[IgoByte]

I personally wouldn't mix it. Sell your olde Kingston and get a bunch of this stuff...It's cheap enough.

must not look at the thread
must not buy anymore ram.......

 

[WorkingMan]

Ya sure...like thats...possible

 

[Kitros]

I don't trust you free...

anyone else?

 

[WileCoyote]

must have missed this thread the first time it came around

I live in fairfax, va zip: 22031. im like 5 minutes away from this store. never knew it existed. i'll head over there tonight or tomorrow and try to get some info on the company

they might not have a store front or anything but they should at least have an office at that address i might be able to speak to someone.

 

[clarkmo]

I think free is f***ing 12

 

[andrewlago]

I wonder if Free has a mobo that supports high density ram.
Sound like not.

P.S. I ordered two this morning.

 

[fixedbyjohn]

DaejangNim, I have bought about 2.5 gigs worth of memory over the past 18 mos.,from them with no hitches, NO ODD CHARGES ON MY CREDIT CARDS EITHER, Have a Great day, Plumber

<< BULLSHIT

Do NOT buy from those assholes!!!
Just recieved my 512 MB but it was NOT (yes not) 512 but fuc*ing 256!!!
BEAWARE
Then I called, they told me to ship it back, and they didn't even told me that they wuld pay the s&amp;h.

I am fu*king mad! >>


Ignore Free. Don't come and crap in here. If you have a problem with the RAM send it back. They mixed up an order. That is going to happen now and then. Don't get all pissy and come crap here.

Wow, now that is a deal verification if I have ever seen one. Thanks, let us know how your venture goes.

***WILL THIS WORK WITH AN AMD 761+ CHIPSET****? That is the DDR chipset that is NEWER than the KT133 sets... I assume it would? Don't panic just yet everyone, have patience for 2-3 weeks. It's very likely that you should get your RAM then...

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!

This deal looked really hot to me too. So, I ordered 2 512MB DIMMs. After waiting about 1.5-2 weeks for delivery they finally came yesterday. The chips themselves have no name whatsoever on them. There is a sticker that says &quot;512PC133-64X4&quot;. According to Sandra the SPD says they are CL2 up to 100MHz, CL3 up to 100MHz! They are not PC133, they are PC100!!! I went into the BIOS on my MSI K7T-Pro and changed it from Auto to PC133 and when I rebooted I got BEEP BEEP BEEP. I was hoping it was just a problem with Sandra but I stuck in my old 256MB chip and it said it was CL2 up to 100MHz and CL3 up to 133MHZ and was running at 133. The benchmarks I did also agreed.

I am going to contact them and see what they say. I want a full refund. They WILL be listed on Resellerratings.com soon! For anyone who got or is getting it, make sure you check to see if it is PC100 or PC133. BTW, I tried mixing it with my old RAM and it worked so I guess it is not VCM.

So, to make a long story short we all got ripped off!

Did anyone else get this mistake of having the wrong ram speed?

[clarkmo]

Maybe a mixup in shipping on the pc100 instead of pc133. What twists my tail is a recent (yesterday) update to the kt7 faq which states the kt7 does not support very high density ram! But maybe in a future bios update it will. Anyone have this board and ram and having it working? If so, what version bios are you using? Abit needs to make this work! The chipset can handle it!

 

[Wei2Cool]

Price lowered again to $40 now.

 

[iLoveDivX]

anyone had success with a kt7? if it works, then i'm definitely buying it. incompatibility with the kt7 is the ONLY reason i'm not buying it now.

 

[rewap]

I called them again today (I got through the first try!) and my order hasn't been shipped yet (ordered last monday). I asked the person on the other end whether or not they can pricematch my order with the current prices on their website since it hasn't shipped yet. He said no. I think I'll wait until tomorrow, if I haven't gotten a tracking number by then, I'm cancelling my order. Has anyone had any expierence from cancelling orders from this place? How much hassle is it? And how long to they take to credit back your credit card? Thanks.
