Type of RAM in a CyberPower PC?

Question

Can anyone tell me what type of RAM is installed in a CyberPower PC when you order it with the Corsair Value select or Major Brand? It will be DDR2 PC6400 RAM and from what I see on Corsairs website, there is no Value Select listed for PC6400, so I am curious from anyone that has a CyberPower PC and chose that option for their RAM...what kind did you get?

Update to first answer...

I have already ordered the PC and only chose 1GB of RAM beings I know it is cheaper on Newegg. I am going to order another 2GB, but wanted to know what type they put in at CyberPower so I can buy compatible RAM. I am getting my PC for $1300 w/ a monitor. I have priced out the components I ordered at Newegg and suprisingly it was only about $50 more to order it from CyberPower than building it myself. I don't listen to reviews too much (I do listen though) because every company out there has some bad reviews from someone.

To Izzy S,

Yes, it may not have a top of the line power supply, but I do have an 650i SLI motherboard, EVGA 8800GTS 640MB GeForce Superclocked, Sony NEC DVD burner/CD-R, Viewsonic 20" widescreen Monitor, 160GB SATA II HD, X-Dreamer case w/ front Temp LED, Dual Core6420, and more. So, I dont know what type of RAM it is, but know that it will work fine for me, there is no reason I should have to overclock this PC at this time, but can if I need to. I still think this is a good deal.

At least I am computer literate (A+ certified w/ MSCE) so I will only have to deal with Cyberpower for help as a last resort.

NOTE: add another $90-$100 for the OS and you are over $1300!

You also need to add Shipping charges for all your parts from Newegg also. The $1300 I spent was w/ shipping.

I found out the RAM was Buffalo that they are using.

Answer 1

We get a lot of thier PC for repairs and I think Cyberpower uses thier own brand under the Pheonix nametag I think. Its not Corsair or anything.

As for the user above, wow someone has it against major companies. He is right though about a lot of stuff though. Most companies will short change the consumer on the parts they install due to increasing their profits.

I will take some offense to Carbonfrost comment partly because I work for them but mostly because I know the parts they use which are top of the line. He is so fond of Newegg but the thing is if he orders a Carbonfrost PC, they send a exact detailed of parts being used in your computer. If you go to tigerdirect, newegg or whereever and try to build it, you will always come out to be more expensive.

Ofcourse Carbonfrost is more expensive than Cyberpower PC. Don't worry about it. They aren't that bad. They usually mostly come in for bad power supplies. Their parts usually don't fail that often. If they do though you will be in trouble as I have heard thier service is not that great.

Good luck with your computer and don't hesitate to contact us if you run into trouble. Its free support and we will be alot faster than Cyberpower in helping you out.

EDIT- You're sadly mistaken on the price difference. I mean you don't even know what RAM your CyberPC has in it for chrsits sake. They use cheap power supplies, cases, pretty much everything they can. Is is an SLi top of the line motherboard. A high quality aluminum case?

I don't think so.

An 8800 series Nvidia graphics card?

Here is a build list using top quality parts:
$165- Intel Core 2 Duo e6320 w/4mb L2 cache

Just build your own from newegg.com

CyberPower PC, Dell, Carbonfrost, they're all hardcore rip-offs. They charge roughly 50% to put it together for you (lame). A $1,200 Pc ffom them can be built with better components at newegg for $800ish. And components also have warranties and the whole bit.

Look how cheap quality, high performance gaming RAM is at the egg:

And with video instructions, it's extremely easy to build a PC. A monkey could do it.
