Hi there

Memory prices are increasing and are doing so very fast. Last night prices shot up by 12% and IC's are also going in shortage, this will mean further price increases, by next week prices could have increased by 25% especially on value lines.

However at OcUK our purchasers are ahead of the competition, if you look throughout our online store you will see several memory modules with the following in their description:-
***Stunning Low Price - OcUK Exclusive!!***

What this means is that OcUK should be the cheapest in the UK on products with this in the description and the even better news is we should be able to hold these very low prices for approx 2 weeks or as long as stock last. However do not wait around too long as once stock has gone prices will increase anywhere between 5-30% so act now as prices may carry on increasing further, what is for sure is that it is looking unlikely they will drop back down now for at least a month or maybe a lot longer. If past experience is anything to go by prices normally tend to just carry on increasing with products going up by as much as 100%. :eek:

If you find memory cheaper elsewhere in the UK that have product in stock then email [email protected] and I will attempt to resolve the situation. :)

For more information see our Memory Section We have several thousand of special offer lines in stock and all manufacturers have special deals so have a browse through all our memory manufacturers to find the best deal for you. :D

For now happy buying!! :D
 
Think I will be placing an order as well this afternoon.

But at the moment stuck between 2x1gb Corsair TwinX 2-3-3-6 and the G-Skill ZX 2x1Gb 2-3-2-5, anybody with either of these please post what clocks they can get to, and how tight they can run these timings, i.e. can the Corsair run at 2-3-2-5 like the G-Skill? What memory chips are under the bonnet, can't seem to find anywhere that says on the net.

I also wanted to get some G Skill but it looks like there is a big faulty batch there was a thread on here that seems to have disappeared about G Skill people went into OcUK and RMA'd and there was another guy RMA'aing some at the same time, I'm going to OcUK tomorrow as I need to pick up 3 lots of 2 gig packs just can't decided which to get now, don't look like it'll be G Skill at this rate. Although it would be nice if some people posted who have had good results to balance it out.
The 4400 Corsair is now out of stock :mad:

We have lots of Corsair 4400 Kits in stock!! :)
 
dam those prices are great, so will the prices eventually fall back down within a month or so?

i was thinking bout getting the Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 (MY-094-CS). Would it be better to just pay the extra £30 and get the ballistix 2gb set?

or is it better to go for this G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit (F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ) (MY-008-GS)

ive got my 3200 winnie running at 2.6ghz atm, with a mem divider so ideally something that will do ddr520 (fsb 260) would be good

At the moment nobody knows, but its looking like a mess, things have been messed up bigtime. The fact is OcUK's prices are so cheap even distribution are buying from us. Everyone is saying prices will now rocket up massively over the next month, then stabilise, maybe drop a little and then gradually increase until the market becomes flooded with lots of memory and prices will start to fall again probably to all time lows towards the end of Summer.

Or what may happen is prices will rocket for 2-5 weeks and then drop back down again to what they were, its to hard to tell but the facts are OcUK is the best source in the UK at the moment for memory, whether it be value based or high-end memory, OcUK is no.1 :)

I too have been unsure of what to get as I will be buying 3 X 2GB kits tomorrow not all mine I might add and I really cannot risk getting a product that is either DOA which some of the G Skill are or a RMA which the Ballistix have been suffering so that leaves good old Corsair might not be the fastest
but I cannot find any problems with them unlike the other two.

Corsair is the most reliable, fact and at the price were offering, its a bargain!!
Also don't forget the G.Skill HS kits which use the Samsung modules, they are supposed to clock well too, but I would go with Corsair and we have a price which is £50 cheaper than most other UK places. :D

Can't comment on G.Skill or Crucial really for reliability apart from the fact we sell a lot and only have a minimal amount back.

Ah bugger, so what do you recommend I pair my 2x512mb GeilONE tccd sticks with to get 2gb? I'm after memory that'll do 250fsb with 2,3,3,5 1T timings at 2.9volts.
