This might belong in the geek forum, but more people read this. So Moo at you. I'm looking into buying the Asus A7M266 motherboard along with 128 meg of PC2100 ram and a 1ghz tbird with the 133mhz DDR FSB. (I hope that weeded out those of you who don't know what you're talking about.) The problem is is that most of the information on pricewatch is inaccurate. I've found ram for sale at good prices on sites that don't show up on pricewatch for memory, but do for something totally different. In addition, one of the information is very specific and I don't know if any of the processors i'm looking at are the AMD-761 or not. In short, does anyone know an alternative to pricewatch? Or even better, a company that has good prices on the new DDR stuff?

<taps the knowledge base>
Thanks people.

A good place to get a fairly accurate estimate on what you are probably going to end up paying is http://www.sharkyextreme.com/
read the weekly memory prices

Price Watch is actually a GREAT resource. Sometimes the prices posted at Pricewatch ONLY apply to phone orders that mention Pricewatch, so be aware of that.

I agree with Jim, though I usually use www.pricematch.com or www.pricegrabber.com for my comparison shopping needs.

None of these places specify that x is DDR or the AMD-761. This stuff is just too new. :-(

AMD 761 is not a processor, it's a chipset. The A7M266 is based on it.

<sidenote>
Via and SiS chipsets suck. Stay away from them at all cost.

You just need to make sure the CPU is rated for the 266MHz DDR(133Mhz signal rate) bus.

Don't know what to tell you about obtaining DDR SDRAM, though...

I know it's a chipset, I was referring to a processor based on the AMD-761 chipset...everything just says like, "Athlon Thunderbird 1ghz!!!!111" and that's it. I dunno.

Also, is corsair a good memory brand?

IIRC, although not likely, it is good, except expensive.

I can't recommend enough getting memory from memoryman. www.memoryman.com

I'm running the stuff, and the stuff seems to perform WAY beyond spec, and is much cheaper than comparable memory. I like it, and am happy. My PC133 is running at 158 (actually, I'm not smart enough to check if it's really running that fast, but it's pretty damn good. my board may be ratioing it down)

askheaves, do they actually sell memory on the site anywhere? Whoever designed the layout of that place needs to be hit with a 2x4. And do they make DDR yet? If not I won't even bother trying to find it, but thanks for the tip.

In other news, tccomputers.com has very overpriced and out of stock DDR stuff, and spartantech.com has some stuff but the lowest speed processor is a 1.1ghz, kicking the price up a little high. 軸 mark is a bit high.
