Anything wrong with Tonicom PC166 ram?

[Oni]

My friend is telling me not to buy it, but I want it because it'll run at PC150 with a setting of CAS2, which is all I want it to do. Not to mention its cheap, like $44 for 128 megs of the stuff.
If you have had good, or bad results I'd like to hear about it.

I haven't used it myself, but users of it have put forth some positive feedback at several places.

Hi... i might caution you about this Ram. first of all, i came across the Tonicom website (somewhere out there) where i read that they have a patent on using second grade chips (ie rejected chips) to 'recycle' them into new Ram.

Doesn't sound too appealing does it?

i have also read in some other forums that many people can't even get the stuff to run at 166Mhz, and they end up sending it back. but that is only if you're overclocking it i guess, since the bus speed is usually 133Mhz.

hope this helps.
