cheap 32gb ram for my new build

[dobrui]

Hi again, I think I previously posted in the wrong threat. Sorry, I am a newbie.

 

So my question is about a cheap 32gb ram (4x8gb) for an asus p9x79 pro motherboard with i7 3820 processor. I found two web-pages with very cheap memories but don't know how reliable they are and whether the price is not too low.

 

so the pages are:

2. http://www.airetechit.co.uk/e-shop/products.php?236972&livemode=1

Can you advice?

Would you mind me asking what you intend to use your new build for?

32gb RAM is very extreme, only a handful of things require that much RAM.

I wouldn't trust those sites for the RAM. Where I buy my gear from 12gb Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz costs near on £100. But then I haven't traded with them before so I may just be assuming.

Anyone else have insight to these sites? Some of their prices are dirt cheap :s

Hi and welcome to ExTS

I deleted your other post :)

 

Take a look here:

click here

 

From the official Corsair site 32GB Vengeance RAM = $699 or £439

 

If the deal seems too good to be true - then it is exactly that.

 

EDIT

I did Google Cleverboxes.com and they get good reviews:

It may be worth giving them a ring to confirm the price and ask how they can be selling £400+ worth of RAM so cheaply

Hey, :D

 

First of all, thanks for your responses guys. I just checked with the company and they said it was a mistake that comes from their third party supplier. The real price is around £320. :(

 

@Vr5fx I compose music and use VSL such as EWQL (synthesiser for symphonic music). To load only one instrument takes about 1GB and if you want a full orchestra then...

I am no expert at company law - BUT ...........if a product is advertised at £25, even if it is a mistake, I am sure you are entitled to buy it at that price.

Do a printout of the advertisement and make a few enquiries.

You may get a bargain yet :)

 

I have just checked the link - strangely it is now £320 :)

 

However ................... the other one is still listed at £17 :) :)

 

Check with citizens advice - Printscreen the advertisement - then contact the company.

Hi, the large amount of RAM isn't actually needed, I run Finale and for realism will bring in Garriton (GPO) and only have 4 GB RAM installed, you most certainly won't need a full GB for each instrument. RAM memory is shared in these circumstances, not split with a GB to each instrument, though the first GB may be needed to get the ball rolling so to speak.
