You can have Kingston DDR2 667Mhz - 2250

533 will be 25-50 lesser than that

hey kooldude
did u see 533 mhz ht technology (ie when ht is enabled it is 800 mhz).
so do u think ur suggestion is right. well just asking to confirm(no grudges plz)

and u didnt tell about dual channel support

my motherboard has only two memory slots so i think there is no support 4 dual channel....and can u tell me a good ddr2 1 gb ram which costs under 4000

i have Pentium d core2duo and a ATI Xpress200 chipset but since this upgrade i found my RAM is 448 mb whereas previously it was 504mb and every single game is closing the older games like Mafia,Freedom fighetrs are have this problem this is annoing pls help me to sort this pls!!!

[shantanu]

just go to your BIOS and see the RAM share size and reduce it to 64 MB... i had that chipset long back... there can be many problems... like power, faulty RAM , faulty OS.. defragment needed by HDD

[shashank4u]

i would recommend you 1 GB kinston ...but it may be more than 4000 in price..

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Kingston 1GB is actually selling at Rs2250 (DDR 2 667). If you considering RAM..now is the right time

[assasin]

yeah RAM's dirt cheap now.buy as much as u can....

[shashank4u]

what ?? when did they become so cheap ..
what about 400 MHz RAM pricing...and are the price from delhi..

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Estimated Prices can be found here.

400Mhz DDR1 is expensive but International prices of RAM are falling drastically.. Expect mor cuts. Kingston is selling like 3600 for 2GB in US

[kooldude]

The DDR1 prices are going hight day by day as the demand is going down for DDR1 ... and DDR2 prices are best currently i guess!!!

[assasin]

the same think will happen to ddr1 wat happened to SD ram modules.

2GB Single Stick Module is expensive and not easily available. It is better to get 2 sticks of 1GB Each

[Ihatemyself]

OK ill buy 1gb module ..but does that include taxes and all..i mean u know why im verifying..so inexpensive unbelievable.

For Corsair Value RAM click here: http://www.yantraonline.in/Product.asp?SubCatId=3
You can get 5% off by not choosing credit card payment method. I think it will make it a good deal too.

[Ihatemyself]

hey monkey
URL u've mention does not go with sukhdeep's comments about low prices of RAM.I mean is sukhdeep talkin about non branded ram..plz mention price of model KTH-XW4200AN/1G or some other branded ram ddr2 minimum 533 mhz is essential remember my budget is 4k.what would u recommend? i will buy it from delhi only..

I think these prices are incorrect. I myself confirmed the price from Tirupati Enterprises (for Corsair) at Nehru Place and 1 GB 667 MHz is retailing for 3,800/- + tax. Even newer brands like Apogee is quoting for 3,400/- + tax. So 2,575/- for decent brand like Transcend looks unrealistic. Are you sure these prices are correct?

Kingston sells in my city for around Rs 2500. Dynet is cheap Rs 2100 and yes it is 1GB 667 DDR2 with 3 yr warranty

i bought 2 1GB sticks of Transcend 667 ram for 2550 each.and dont compare Corsair prices with other brands cuz Corsair is a Premium brand.
