DDR3 Deals & Offers

Thats sad news :(

Update - Curry’s have failed to reply to any messages that I’ve sent. There is a number 01636 595850 which of course they never answer. I’ve no other option but to initiate a return for a refund, and forfeit any claim that they send me the correct item. They of course have Zenbooks for sale but unless I can get speaking to them this is a dead duck. They really are not very good.

Will do. I was sent an E410MA Vivobook. Gutted. Curry’s still not responding, but eBay have already said they will stand over it and Curry’s will have to pay for collection etc. I really want the Zenbook though as this was such an amazing deal. Let’s see what Curry’s reply with.

Thats crazy?? I hope you manage to sort it out and get the Zenbook as advertised. Keep us posted

Very sorry to hear that. Since it was through eBay, I hope, in the worst case, you can use eBay's money back policy and claim a refund.

Thank you buddy. Ordered!

You are in luck rapssd your Dell and the memory above have both a 2 slots dimm and they run to the same speed.

Hi, are these substantially wider than standard sticks. Currently I have 2x DDR3 sticks in my Dell 9010 MT, and have 2 slots free. I was thinking it buying 4x Corsair sticks to replace but am not sure on their sizes. Thanks

Got it, I'm running an old FX and overclocked, just need more to run call of duty, 8 is not enough, one benifit of running an overclocked 8 core FX and a R9 280x graphics card is you don't need to turn on the heating

For the record I've never said 1600 CL9 was better than 2400 CL11. Regarding the CL or Cas Latency see link bellow https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/cas-latency-ram-cl-timings-glossary-definition,6011.html I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well but again the lower CL number the better. Also, just to reiterate, I understand this deal is not for everyone my motherboard only allows for ddr3 and maximum speed without overclock is 1600. For people like me getting this specific ram this is a good deal. Try to get any DDR3 ram at any speed these days.

Looks like the memory industry thinks we've forgotten about their dirty price fixing scandal and are bumping the prices back up.

This would be good for the Lenovo m93p tiny desktops.

For laptop almost irrelevant anyway, not like going to be overclocking

The Ddr3 is still very much in demand. I was looking for 8gb for long, but pricey..

You can get 4GB 1600Mhz from CeX for £6 (plus £1.95 p+p). They also have 1866Mhz and 2133Mhz 4GB sticks for £8

Yes, the very one. Thanks very much. (y)

Returns online are straightforward and free, although not fast at the moment. And returns in store have always been painless for me but that may vary by store to some extent. Mistakes do happen but it's not always a bad thing. I bought a load of RAM the other day and amongst my local store's stock was a stick labelled 2GB that was actually 4GB and a SODIMM stick labelled 4GB that was actually 8GB. With the kind of store CeX is you have to take the rough with the smooth and yes, it certainly helps to know what you're looking for and looking at. I can appreciate it's not for everyone though.

My Dell Inspiron, as listed on HUKD in 2009, is still running perfectly happy on DDR2. My best ever HUKD purchase.

I would 100% avoid. I have twice bought RAM from cex online. Both times they sent the wrong RAM. Across 2 orders they made three mistakes: wrong size, DDR3/DDR4 mix up, wrong speed. You'll also risk a wasted journey in person, because the people in these shops have no idea about RAM (and didn't even bother/know to Google part numbers to check what certain sticks are). Only worth it if you have a cex near you as part of another routine, and you know your stuff when it comes to RAM.

If you're fine buying used you can get a pair of 4GBs from CEX for £17.50, two year warranty too, so on a older ddr3 laptop shouldn't matter too much. https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail/?id=smem412800204&categoryName=memory-laptop-ddr3&superCatName=computing&title=4-gb-pc12800-ddr3-1600mhz-204-pin-memory
