    Provided no price-jacking Synology DS918+ for $639.20 would be a pretty good deal!

    • TimWn on 08/05/2019 - 09:46

    How worthwhile is a ram upgrade from 8gb -> 16gb? Am I better off getting 2 x 8gb and replacing completely or could I add another 8gb to my existing setup (I just have a stock standard ram stick at the moment so wouldn't be same one).

    • evanjd on 08/05/2019 - 09:58

      Mixing DIMMs in a dual-channel setup is not recommended, at worst the computer may not even POST. Better of getting a 16GB kit and selling your current RAM on gumtree/FB marketplace/etc.

      • edathor on 08/05/2019 - 10:18

        That's not entirely true. Corsair guarantees you can mix their memory kits as long as you get the same part numbers.

        It's best to check with the manufacturer.

        UPDATE: Sorry. Didn't read the original question properly. Mixing memory with different part numbers will most likely cause issues.

        • evanjd on 08/05/2019 - 10:50

          I was specifically talking about mixing modules, since the commenter I replied to said:

        There are occasions of bad luck, but 99% of the time you can mix ram.

        Put it in and run memtest.

    • dcep on 08/05/2019 - 10:24
      +1

      if you're on budget and don't overclock

      just get the cheapest 8gb stick available from anywhere, even used ones will do

      99% will work fine with your current stock ram on dual channel setup

      not worth getting a new 16gb kit for your usage

      some say don't mix dimms but i say those days are gone

      i got a kingmax single sided 1Rx8 mix with samsung dual rank 2Rx16 double sided 16 chips , and they works fine without hiccups

    • Store RepComputer Alliance @ Computer Alliance on 08/05/2019 - 15:24

      Motherboards are pretty tolerant of mixing sticks nowadays, but if can be hit and miss. Try to get something very close in stocks to the chip you have.

      Also, the more basic question, 16GB vrs 8Gb isn't going to make any difference for light use. You will only see an advantage for programs that can use, and need that extra capacity. Most systems will run just as well with 8G or 16 for common use.

      You using a HDD in there? Change it out for an SSD instead. Will dramatically increase the snappiness of the machine (windows boot time, time for apps to open, etc). Will just need to clone the data to the new drive.

      If on the other hand, you have one browser window open and it won't scroll nicely anymore, or video doesn't play well, then it's time to upgrade.

      • bailbondsh on 08/05/2019 - 14:38

Or i will just waste the $8 if i buy 12 of the $10 gift cards?

      If you have Woolworths Rewards you can go in to a Woolworths store and purchase the eBay gift cards. You will be credited $10 for each $100 gift card you purchase. You cannot purchase a $112 gift card, but if you purchase 2 gift cards you will have credit left over to spend at eBay. Note that the $10 credit can only be spent at Woolworths.

  • Radial7 on 08/05/2019 - 16:10

    Was planning on buying some Ubiquiti gear but when checking prices found I could buy most items cheaper, or negligible difference, elsewhere even with 20% off. Computer Alliances is one of the best company's I've dealt with so a little disappointed their prices are not as competitive as they once were, at least in this case anyway.

  • bingsta on 08/05/2019 - 16:26

    Any recommendations on a NAS?

    Was looking at the synology 918+ which would be cheaper post 20% than MSY though the base price is 799 vs 728.

    • Last Seen on 08/05/2019 - 17:42

      Great bit of gear. Invest in some high capacity drives, too, so there's no regrets down the track

      • Larwood on 08/05/2019 - 21:27

            • kiitos on 12/05/2019 - 08:02

              @Larwood: Why is that? Because of the limited amount of storage, or because you can only do raid 1?

                +1

                @kiitos: Both, basically. You either have raid 1 in which case you would have been better off just using 2 separate hard drives with 1 for backup, or raid 0 in which case you may as well use them both for storage. There's no advantage worth the cost of the NAS.

    As a consumer, I would prefer if I got to enjoy the full 20% off and not be a victim of “price-jacking”.

    As a someone who’s taught Microeconomics at uni…I’d have to point out though that the incidence of a subsidy is rarely fully passed on to one or the other of the buyer/seller but rather shared amongst the two based on their relative market power and other factors:

    “The incidence of a subsidy

    The economic incidence of a subsidy indicates who is made better off by the subsidy. In contrast, the legal incidence indicates who, by law, the subsidy is intended to help.

    However, the price the consumer pays does not fall by the full amount of the subsidy.”

    As a consumer, I would prefer if I got to enjoy the full 20% off and not be a victim of “price-jacking”.

    For me simply the final price point is the most important factor , whether it comes from a 50% off coupon or 2% rebate it doesn't worry me .

    Enjoy the times as not too long ago Ebay weren't worried about competition and now thankfully a monster is here to keep them honest .

    I've seen consumer's here whinge about something going up 10 % but yet after the coupon was applied it has ended up as cheapest wholesale price in Australia . Then they whinge it lasted 1 minute after the 10 AM start :)

      What's better, 3200MHz C16 or 3000MHz C15? User benchmark suggests the 3200MHz is slightly better, and should come down to $151.20.

      • vicerum on 09/05/2019 - 10:54

        3200 / 16 = 200 MHz
