careless_monkey Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I was looking at local kijiji website and saw one of the posting where a guy was selling a used RAM of a company I've never heard of I'm planning to buy PC5300 2GB 200-pin Here's the link to the official website : K-Byte I've tried finding any sort of review but couldn't really get any. Thus I'm posting out here and hope to get help. Also attached is the picture of the RAM that he uploaded on Kijiji Link Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmeunit Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've seen that brand in many different computers over the years, but can't really comment on quality. They've been computers I've worked before, but nothing really recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No, absolutely not. You can get 2GB of good name brand RAM on Newegg for what that kijijiji guy is asking for his cheap quality memory, plus you get the warranty and guaranteed great service. If you prefer though I'm sure you can also find similar deals on Tigerdirect or other sites, but I would not go with that K-byte stuff myself. :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231116 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148086 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careless_monkey Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I was not really planning to shell out 50$ for the RAM, the guy is asking 25$ for it thus I was considering it. Also, I need one 2GB RAM and not two 1GBs. Thanks for the comments :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I must have found the wrong page then. For $25 sure, it might be fine. What few reviews I could find on k-byte said they used lower quality chips, but some people said it worked ok. Personally I'd feel more comfortable with a more trustworthy brand.

Pam14160 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Went to the website, and notice they had not updated their site since 2007. Hence, as TRC indicated it is not a good idea. Also, the all their ram is a little dated. Best fine another brand. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 6, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 6, 2010 I personally would never go for used RAM. Memory is probably the most common hardware fault these days, so you need one with a long, preferably very long warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawr_boy81 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I prefer to get Apacer memory; all my computers use it and everything works beautifully well. It isn't well known but it is very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
