    So it's not Corsair?

      Those are just the Amazon tech specs, which are not always the most up to date, go by product title.

    insert predictable :when I was younger, the computer memory was measured in megabytes, not gigabytes….." comment etc !!

    One day, memory will be free, and we'll all have almost instant access with almost simultaneous speed.

    Just amazing.

    I think this old man needs to go and have a lie down

      When I was younger memory was measured in kilobytes and the name of your computer told you how much ram you had (Commodore 64 FTW)

        plus they had a turbo button!

    • wildstone on 05/07/2012 - 10:34

      You are wrong, memory won't be free, it will just be the same price but with greater capacity. eg $100 now buys you 16GB, in the future $100 will buy you 64GB or 1TB. Just like in the old days $100 buys you 16MB of RAM.

    16gb not sure you need this much unless your a very heavy user of Photoshop or you use some sort of AutoCAD software. But still a good deal.

    • Windows7forever on 05/07/2012 - 09:00

      16GB is an insane amount of RAM and the beauty is that it is so cheap. I think with this much RAM you are effectively "future-proofing" your system, memory-wise for atleast the next couple of years, provided that your motherboard can take it. I get along with 4GB just fine for everything.

      • Peekay on 05/07/2012 - 10:03

        I disagree with this statement.
        What good is your 16GB of DDR3 ram going to be when you upgrade the rest of your system in a year or so and find your motherboard only supports DDR4?

        That's completely ignoring the speed differences as well that will probably render a smaller amount of DDR4 more effective.

    • vid_ghost on 05/07/2012 - 09:12

      AutoCad runs fine on 2-4gb's of ram been using it for 12 years at an engineering office.

    • mini2 on 05/07/2012 - 09:57

      It's so cheap these days you might as well max it out and be done with it if you plan on keeping your PC/laptop for years.

      Heh a certain telco's CSR are still rocking P4 with 512Mb RAM…feel sorry for them.

    • snorbert on 05/07/2012 - 15:36

      Got an iMac here with 16GB:
      - lots of terminal windows with lots of scrollback
      - lots of Chrome windows with lots of tabs
      - Seamonkey mail/web with a few windows

      I still need to restart Chrome every few days to stop the machine from swapping. For my usage patterns, the usability difference going from 8GB to 16GB was huge.

      Sure, but it also can't hurt, can it :D

      We had machines with 12gb three years ago, doing Maya for a childrens cartoons and you would watch the RAM meter just fill up as you loaded in scenes and FX.

      If you are doing any kind of graphics or audio work where you want buffering, give me RAM, RAM and more RAM. Oh, and more CPU's. And hard drive space … errr, more of everything really.

      • Windows7forever on 07/07/2012 - 15:12

        I would love to get my old 386 out and just play classic DOS games forever. Never need to upgrade it and runs fast for anything made before 1993.

    Even cheaper now - only $80 US + post.

    Ordering now! :)

  • bennib0i on 05/07/2012 - 09:50

    Anyone if this works on the the 2012 macbook pros (non retina)?

    • hithere2341 on 05/07/2012 - 11:30

      The 2012 MacBook Pro (non Retina) uses 1600MHz RAM. This RAM only runs on 1333MHz. I reckon it would work, but do not risk it.

      Have a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Laptop-1600MHz-CMSX1…

      This is compatible but can only ship within the US. That is what you should be looking for.

      • bennib0i on 05/07/2012 - 13:20

        Ye thought so. Thanks for confirming!

  • bugman on 05/07/2012 - 10:09

    I presume that because this is SODIMM, it can only be used in a LAPTOP??

    Please confirm!

    • cwongtech on 05/07/2012 - 10:48

      Yes, sodimm = laptop RAM, its slightly smaller than desktop RAM. Desktop RAM should be cheaper if you're looking for it

    Yay! I bought one too. My laptop is going to be very happy.

    great deal at $86!

    I continuously come up against my 8gb max ram at work using revit and chrome, open lightroom or photoshop and it's painfully bad.

    (Open at the same time of course)

    This should give my M4600 bit of a boost.

    • Shaw on 05/07/2012 - 12:38

      Could always use a flash drive as a very temporary solutions while you wait for the sticks to arrive, might help a little bit.

  • davidl2 on 05/07/2012 - 13:17

    in the final stage of purchasing, nearly clicked the "PAY" button
    did a google search and found my not so old laptops does NOT support 16GB (maximum 8GB) :(

    Mobile Intel® QM57 Express Chipset
    max: 8GB (4GB x 2)

    Mobile Intel® HM65 Express Chipset
    max: 8GB (4GB x 2)

    Cheers shaw, I was in the market to bump up my RAM before heading to Japan and was going to buy this week. Absolutely perfect timing!

    • blopd on 05/07/2012 - 18:37

      Might I ask how much the cost of your flight was and which city you are headed to?

      and for the sake of it, thanks for the deal Shaw.

        Flights are paid for. I am heading back to Japan for at least a year on the JET program, down in a small town in Kochi prefecture on Shikoku

          Nice, sounds sweet, I think I heard of the when I was over there or when I was back in NZ, either or, amazing country though as I'm sure you are aware. Be safe, and keep us updated on how it is going whenever you leave.

  • Fat Horny Ghost on 06/07/2012 - 06:32

    Has it gone up back to $95.98? Damn missed out!

    • Shaw on 06/07/2012 - 06:35

      95 was the original price at which I posted it, still a bargain really, it just happened to drop again after it had been posted.

  • petec_7 on 07/07/2012 - 20:10

    Now at USD87. What's with the pricing yoyo? Anyhow got mine at USD80 so thanks.

  • casey2 on 23/07/2012 - 14:23

    So has anyone received this yet?

  • bugoy8 on 23/07/2012 - 21:46

    I'm quite annoyed by this. I'm following up with Amazon and am now being told that there's a 2 week delay!!!

    For the folks that bought this, can you please advise if you've received this already???

    • aeon on 25/07/2012 - 07:29

      Still waiting for mine - it shipped on the 9th, and was due to arrive on the 20th, but still hasn't arrived, going to give them till then end of the week then will follow it up with them.

      • danjandan on 31/07/2012 - 11:13
