Anyone know anything about this store? Ive never heard of it.

Also, Im not sure how this works. My computer at work takes PC3200 RAM. If I get this, will the RAM just throttle down to 3200, or will my MB not recognize it because its 5400?

Oh well. This RAM has 240 pins. I need 184 pins. :(
But Id still like to knwo the answer to the question above.

No idea about the store, but in answer to your other question... if you put in memory that is faster than your current memory, it will throttle down to the slower memory speed. If the memory is faster than the motherboard can handle, there may be an upgrade to your motherboard (bios upgrade) or you may be completely out of luck as the the motherboard may give you memory errors, or another alternative could be that your motherboard will boot and work fine, until one time it decides it does not like it and just starts acting erratic.

But like you said, you are out of luck anyway, that whole 240 vs. 184 thing makes this whole questioning irrelevant anyway. :verysad:
 
Not really irrelevant, just moot. Its still information that Im glad to have for future reference. Maybe I could just pluck out 56 of the pins! You know, like cutting the prongs so a 110 appliance will work in a 220 socket. ;)
 
Hey, thanks. I never have seen that site. .. no pun intended.
 
This ram is 184 pin DDR2. You have 240 pin DDR. DDR2 is not backwards compatible with DDR, and anyway they uses different sockets so it's not like it would fit (but you could shove it in ;) ).
Here's some reviews of the store, they're not popular, but it seems that they're not that bad.
