I'd rather get cheaper ram with better timings, such as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

You're not comparing apples and apples. The deal is for 16GB of 2133mhz ram. You linked 8GB of 1600mhz ram. you can run at tighter timings on the 2133mhz if you run it at 1600mhz.

Eh, increasing ram speed (and even improving timings) isn't exactly the best way to give yourself a speed increase. The likely 0.1 FPS increase of the deal set vs the set stevo linked isn't in any way, shape or form worth the ~1.5x price premium.

In everything but incredibly memory intensive operations (and no, no game out there is memory intensive in such a way that this matters) there is going to be at best a minimal visible difference between either of these two sets and a 1333MHz set with 9 CAS latency.

If we were still on DDR1 or 2? Timings and speeds would matter much more significantly, but this is throwing away money to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

Fantastic ram - I paid about the same two weeks ago - the only stinker is 1 per house hold.

@alazius:

Also, with this deal you are forced to buy 16gb of memory.

8gb - hell, 4gb - is enough for pretty much any job, including heavy gaming. 16gb is absolutely overkill unless you're doing heavy video editing or something like that.

Not many people should be buying this deal imo. They could save nearly $80 if they went with some other 8gb memory; and then they could apply that $80 somewhere else upgrading their PC that will actually make a noticeable difference.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
