This stuff says it is compatible with AMD platforms... do you know what that means? HIGH DENSITY ram. I wouldn't buy it for $50 if it is HIGH DENSITY. There is a reason it is cheap people!

After doing a google search, I have no idea how high density ram causes issues in systems versus low density ram. Any possible issues were with new memory released years after the motherboard revision was for a particular model. The majority of the issues I found were for DDR memory!
I've used ram that has chips on both sides for 4gb sticks and 4gb ram modules with the chips only on one side. And what do you know, no difference. At all. Booted in every system I have tested it in (they are my two test kits of ram). You should be fine using either one, cas latency and voltage are more important to match on memory.
I'm not sure if anyone is still reading this post.
I received my RAM I ordered yesterday. 1/24/15. Already a GREAT first impression
Very nice, thanks for reporting back on it. I'll have to keep an eyeball on the stock since it looks like it's decent stuff.
Straight timings typically aren't the best at higher speeds. Maybe try 11-13-13-31 and Command Rate 2.It's not stable at 2133. But I have it at 1866 10-10-10-28 1.6v. The 1333 should do 1600 easily.

- Only a 15 day return policy
- Must open an account (cant checkout as a guest)
- Must give out credit card number (no PayPal or Visa checkout types accepted)
- Poor Reseller Rating
Maybe these things mean little to some folks but I'd rather buy from well known reputable online retailers where I can use PayPal and don't have to give my credit card number. Paying a little more for the security and piece of mind, as well as having the choice of many different types of RAM from a variety of manufacturers and knowing the place I bought it will give me excellent customer service if there's a problem is worth it, IMO.
Do I need to create an account in order to purchase?
Yes. Right now, we are requiring all shoppers to create an account in order to complete a purchase. This is to help ensure that purchases made are valid and to help protect against fraud.
5th question from the top.
I just simply linked to what it states in their FAQ section on buying from Visiontek. There it states "we are requiring all shoppers to create an account in order to complete a purchase."
So rather than a "glitched" website, it seems their FAQ section is misleading or needs to be updated. In any regard, I prefer not to deal with small outfits like this. They could be gone tomorrow. Of course any online business can close up shop without notice but if I were a betting man, my money would be placed on small volume online retailers like Visiontek as being more likely to go under vs a retailer like Amazon.
And one more thing, how much revenue do you think companies like Visiontek are able to allocate to their network security? I'm not a hacker and I am not advocating for anyone to try anything illegal, but If I were a hacker I'd be setting my sights on a small company (like Vtek) before I'd try hacking a mega retailer like Amazon.
All I'm saying is when I look to buy from small online retailers and I see they don't use third party CC payment systems (which indicates they store customers CC info on their own servers) I take a pass even if their prices are tempting.
I was getting excited until I saw the name Visiontek.
I absolutely refuse to buy anything with that name after getting 'stiffed' on service for a videocard fan replacement years ago.
Thing is...that card also had the words "life time warranty" associated with it.
Visiontek and Diamond...two companies I absolutely do not buy anything from.
It's funny the amount of people here that have a bunch to say on something they have zero experience dealing with
I can vouch for the exact opposite experience with Visiontek RMAs. I've RMAed twice without an issue. The process was straightfoward, there was minimal paperwork to submit, and they shipped replacements within a week of receiving my return. One of those RMAs was a couple of weeks outside the warranty period. I asked if they'd be willing to replace the card outside of the warranty period, and they gave me the go ahead.
While I'm glad you had a good experience...mine was the exact opposite.
I'd purchased a card with "lifetime warranty" so I could be covered for anything.
I actually had the option of buying the same series of card cheaper, but chose to purchase their card at additional cost...strictly for the lifetime warranty.
During their transition and restructuring, one of the card's fans stopped working. The card itself still worked.
I called with the intent to send it in, because I did not want to void the warranty by messing with the fan housing and since the fans were not your typical shape not available in stores.
Imagine my disgust to hear "the new Visiontek does not honor any warranties of the 'old' Visiontek...lifetime or not.
Needless to say I was not happy.
Haven't bought anything from them since.
It's principal.
That stinks! How many years ago was this?
Edit: I did a quick search. It looks like they restructured 13 years ago. So, I'm assuming it was around that time period.
Hey I bit on 2x (16gb 1333 kits) shipping today, thanks op and we will see if they can do 1866
I ordered a couple of the 1333 kits and received 1600 kits instead. They told me to keep them.
