DDR1 PC4200... exists or misprint?

The only PC4200 I know is DDR2 memory. But someone is listing some Kingston ValueRAM PC4200 DDR1 memory for sale.

I've checked Kingston's SKUs and they don't seem to have a DDR1 533Mhz part. Not in the ValueRAM. The HyperX has a 533 DDR1 variant.

The seller guarantees it's DDR1. Has anyone seen any ValueRAM DDR1 at 533mhz?

PC4400 = 275 (DDR550)
PC4200 = 266 (DDR533)
PC4000 = 250 (DDR500)

Its a possibility that its PC4200 :confused:

Yeah, but the PC2-4200 is also 533 Mhz

I just don't want to buy it and find out it's the wrong type. However, I've got an email from the seller stating it's DDR1, so if it isn't I should be able to return it. Hopefully.

Well, I just won 2gb of this stuff for £55. It better be DDR1 or I'll be putting it straight back on "the bay"...

Yes there is PC4200 for DDR1, but it's an oc version from the standard PC3200 thus don't think it would be called "Value".

Turns out it's the standard DDR400 ValueRAM. So I'm not sure if 2Gig for £58 is such a bargain any more

I mean, it's not bad but it's not an amazing deal either

I don't tend to overclock my RAM, so I might just live with it.
