Is Dell Ram Any Good?

[godbrother]

Hi, I just found an amazing deal, its a Dell clearance. 2x2GB (4GB) DDR2 800Mhz for $20. Now before you get all excited, I don't live in the states so I don't have access to newegg. So this offer is amazing in the U.K to find branded ram at this price.

Now, down to the important part, is dell ram any good? Can it be used on other motherboards etc? But overall, and once again... Is it any good?

For example... Dell Vs. Crucial.

Thanks!

Dell RAM is not assembled by Dell, but it should be good quality as long as you don't plan on overclocking it. It should be equivalent to budget Crucial or Kingston RAM.

RAM that works is good RAM, at that price i'd say go for it. If it doesn't work out at least it was only $20

Lol, great! I'm going to go get it. It's brand new so, ram is ram I guess. I own a Dell PC atm, I'm just planning on getting an upgrade to a Gigabye board later on and wanted to know if it will be compatible, and it should.

Dell and HP have a killer deal like this once every blue moon, probably clearing out a truck load of excess memory modules. About two years ago, there was a similar deal on HP DDR2-667 modules that worked out between $4.00 ~ $8.00 per GB.

The market for excess OEM components can be a gold mine. I recently acquired two brand new M-Audio Delta 1010 PCI audio cards for $5.00 each plus shipping (total came to $20.85 shipped). They were rebranded by HP for use in some HP workstations, but identical to the genuine M-Audio cards and use the same PCI hardware ID.

These cards sell for $70 ~ $90 each without break-out cable, or over $120.00 each with break-out cable.
