$42.99
- $35 Mail-in Rebate (11/7 - 11/13)
= $7.99 AR w/ free shipping!

Note that this is the new BL2KIT12864AA80A kit introduced since July 2008 with the improved 2.0v memory chips. Please don't confuse it with the old & dreadful BL2KIT12864AA804.8FE5 or BL2KIT12864AA1065.8FE5 modules many people bought in the early half of 2008.

Newegg reviews

Take those reviews with a huge grain of salt. As OP mentioned, these were released around July/August. People are reviewing them saying "dead after 4/6/7 months of use" even though the sticks haven't been available for that long. I'm willing to be that people are reviewing the wrong item because they can't look at the model number.

An 8/23/08 review says:

Newegg reviewer said:I ordered 2 of these kits 3 months ago.

He gave it a 1/5 rating. It's bringing the rating of the memory way down and it probably shouldn't be. The old version of the Ballistix memory was indeed bad, but these guys appear to be reviewing the old version, not the new one.

I was able to go through all the process. However, when submit the order, it will takes you to "Page Cannot be Displayed".
Thanks for your help. Hopefully the site will be back online soon.

I'm able to get to the final page of checking out. Don't enter your zip code to estimate shipping, just click "continue" or "checkout" instead. I'm not actually ordering this, but are you having trouble actually submitting the order?

Newegg reviews
I doubt those that wrote bad experience actually used the 80A modules. Those bad reviews were most likely based on the old 804 modules. The new modules arrived since late July and nobody had seen any deal about them until Oct. 5 (see my previous deal), yet someone commented "Bad after 6 months", "Worked great for about 7 months". If in doubt, read my linked sources and learn the history.
A few days back I went through a lot of the bad reviews on Newegg for the older 2.2v RAM (the one which ends in "4" instead of "A") and some of them clearly mention that they got this newer RAM as a replacement and that it also did bad. I am currently in the same boat, got the older 2.2v ram that went bad and opted to get the newer 2.0v RAM as replacement. I was offered to get the non-ballistix memory as I am not a gamer and that that would allow me to run the RAM at 1.8v (which is what I was doing with the older 2.2v RAM), but I wanted to try my luck with this. So far running fine (I am now running at the required 2.0v), but not sure how it will do after a few weeks of use.

Keep us posted. We trust our forum members much better than those 90% clueless reviews!

FYI there's a 2x2gb kit of this available at fry's as well, for $30 AR
