Wow those are expensive prices compared to the US. I can see why Samsung is so much more popular over there...its nearly 1/2 the cost of Corsair (which is pretty much the same ram, only hand picked).
yeah, i dont fancy paying £100 for 256mb of ram!!!!
if thats the same stuff as people are raving about, i think i am going to get some

Actually that does not look like my Samsung, I have two sticks and neither one looks like that. One the one you show there are two chips between the Actual RAM chips, and neither of mine have these. All I can really say is buy them and test them. Hold on I just looked at the pic again and i see that the right bank has five chips? I dunno but I do not think that is the Real Samsung, it may have Samsung chips but I doubt it is Original Samsung.

I just paid that for 512m of Corsair PC3200 :) $155 that is.
will get some, i think the pic may be a bit generic, so i aint going too much on that.
will get some ordered up and see how it goes, either way its about £20 cheaper than most decent stuff

Well i see that they are DTL stepping, for some reason rumor has it that the CTL stepping overclocks better but I really can't say as I have CTL. Let us know how these chips do.
