Default Kingston Value RAM

As some might know, my ram took a crap on me. And I didn't even OC it.
What do you guys think of the Kingston Valueram? I found some on sale here:
Kingston KVR400D2N3K2/2G 2GB Kit DDR2-400 PC2-3200 Memory Retail at ZipZoomfly

2 GB even!

Any pros or cons with it? Not worth the money?



Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4 ghz 2 ghz HT
2 x 1GB PC3200 RAM
LG Lightscribe DVD/CD write 18x/48x read 16x/48x
Windows XP Pro SP 2 & Windows 2000 pro sp4
BFG Geforce 7800 GS OC 256mb running dual displays
Zalman CNPS9500 CPU Cooler
K8 Triton GA-K8U-939 Mobo w/ULI M1689 Chipset
Xion 600W PSU w/dual 12v rails

Nothing wrong with that RAM. Both my cousins (for whom I build computers) are running that exact RAM, and it runs as fast and stable as it ever did.

You'll enjoy it.

Why would that kit not be compatible with my system?

Edit: Oh duh! thats a DDR 2 instead of DDR. Thanks for catching that!!

I really like Kingston, but I have had trouble with their Value RAM. Just make sure you get it from a place that will take it back (just in case). I got one bad stick. Once I got an exchange (from the same stock), all was fine.

You know what gets me is that my old ram was only a year old!! It was purchased from Tiger Direct on Aug 27 last year.

PNY 1024MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz Memory (P56-3930) 1 $94.99 $94.99

Edit: I just got off the phone with TD and they told me that PNY has a lifetime warranty on their RAM. So I guess I'll call PNY tomorrow and get a RMA #.
