buymstar.com?

I looked at the reviews for this site and they were mixed, at best.

However, I'm interested in just one of their deals - 128MB Kingston PC1066 RDRAM for just $50.00. Anywhere else, Kingston brand PC1066 RDRAM costs $77.00 minimum, which is quite a huge jump - I just can't afford $150 to add 256MB of RAM (since RDRAM has to be installed in pairs).

buymstar also has free shipping, so for about $100.00, I could add 256MB of RAM which is the best price I've found (if you know of a better price, please share )

I know Samsung RDRAM is cheaper, but I have Kingston already installed in my system and have been told by my motherboard's manufacterer (Asus) to not mix RDRAM from different manufacterers.

So, does anyone think it's worth trying this company or should I stay away because of the poor ratings?

if you do decide to order from make sure that you use a CREDIT CARD That way if they give u crap, call up your card and you dont lose any money. If you use a credit card i say go for it.

well, thanks for the reply.

any1 else at all have an opinion on this?

and more specifically, perhaps some1 that's actually shopped from them?

Have you checked out googlegear.com? They have the best price for RDRAM IMO. I'm going to pick up some RDRAM when I get some money @ googlegear.com or if newegg.com still has the refurbed PC800

yeah, i've checked out googlegear.

however, i'm looking for Kingston pc1066 RDRAM and that costs $76.50 / 128MB, which is still too expensive...

another wierd thing - the Kingston PC1066 RDRAM that's on buymstar.com now seems to be ECC - which should make it even more expensive. however, they still show it for just $50!

i dunno, it just seems very fishy to me that they are the only ones who offer this expensive RDRAM for $25-30 less than any1 else...

[shawshank62]

like i said, make sure you use credit card

SEEMS to be ECC now? YIKES! Keep on shopping my friend. If they cannot get their act squared away on advertising their products, then they just lost your money...

GoogleGear is good, but slow on order processing unless you request priority next day delivery.

If i were you, i'd take a look at www.crucial.com to see what they have for memory... I had mixed crucial and kingston on my system and i had nothing but problems... I traced it to the kingston chip, chucked it and loaded in another stick of crucial and enjoyed my successes ever since..

I would have gotten my ram IF crucial sold RDRAM... too bad they don't :/
