Corsair ddr2-533 xms2 is out of stock in newegg

[mikeny]

I've been searching for the above ram since newegg just ran out of them. Does anyone know of other retailers selling them. I need 1GB (2x512). Can someone send me the link? Thank you

I saw on newegg, the kingston hyperx ddr2-533 but the voltage is 1.85. Will this be an issue with the Gigabyte DS3 which has a problem with posting RAM above 1.8v? I saw the corsair ram that Im looking for in the subject is available as an open box in newegg, should I go for this or search for unopened retail?

Your reply came after I sent my reply. When I edited and refreshed then your reply came up.

By the way....Kingston HyperX is on buy.com for much less than newegg but it says the voltage is 1.8v...on newegg it says 1.85v. Who's right?

Im going for ddr2-533 because of the DS3 being finiky over ram. I figure I would go to pc2-4300 to keep it happy! Plus this ddr2 has low latency and is 3-3-3-8.

why not just buy 667?

If you don't plan to overclock, then buying a 667 is unwise:

Nope, Im not going to overclock. I was able to get the sticks I needed from ZipZoomFly and is packed...awaiting it.
