New Memory Price

[lechumbl]

Hi all,

Just bought this memory at Newegg:
Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PXD38G1866ELK.

The 16 GB I bought was listed for $165.98 USD, but with 40 dollar instant savings and a $20.00 mail in rebate, it came to 105.98.

Not too bad.

Here is the link, for those interested:
Newegg.com - Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PXD38G1866ELK

Take care.........

I have the 2x4G same kit. Seems to work fine. Guys at the local MemEx said they've had issues with some other Patriot stuff but the top of the line stuff is tip top notch.

Having not bought anything in a while, it came as a surprise to me that the rebate is by way of an AmEx prepaid card.

MemEx gave me the wrong promo code and my claim was denied For $20 I'm not going to worry about it. Which is what the rebate granter hopes, I know. Meh.

Hi keto,

Promo code is right this time, already have paperwork printed out and waiting for memory for required documentation.

I have Patriot in my 6 core system, and it screams!!

Take care.......

Too bad 16G kits are so rare in the higher speeds...

Hi bud,

Two 8 GB kits works just as well. (As long as you have 4 slots. )
At least I believe so?

Take care............

Every now and then you run into issues since they are only guaranteed to work (and tested) with the ones in the same kit...

Hi lightninstrikr,

That is correct.

That is why you put one kit in slots 1 and 3 and the second in slots 2 and 4.
Problem solved.

I personally mark each kit, so they can not be separated and mixed up, and each set remain in their own kit.

Take care........

Hi zsamz_,

Works well enough to get 60k+ PPD in F@H on this one system.
My other system gets 28K+ PPD.

Good enough for me.

Take care..........
