Why not just buy two 1 gig cards? They are selling the 1 gig cards here on Amazon for 7$, so my question is why not just buy two of those for 14$ and save 6$? Is there a difference of speed between the two or are the people at Amazon just bad at math? Why not just buy two 1 gig cards?

Yeah I suppose you're right. I was going to order to 1g cards but the shipping was the same on either so I went with the 2g. Oh well, still a great deal either way.

The same reason people buy DVD-R for data instead of CD-R. Sure, you can use CD-R for the same stuff, but who really wants to deal with swapping discs out?

Another reason to stick with a single larger flash than two smaller is that you will get more storage from the single large vs the two smaller. The reason is that due to formating, you lose drive space. You lose more drive space formating two 1G devices than a single 2G device. Just my opinion.

Amazon is a Market Place. Meaning most items are sold by different vendors, which happens to be the case here. Two different sellers equals two different prices. If you need two I would suggest simply buying 2 of the lower priced items from the same seller.

Your getting a 4GB instead of 2GB. The last time a spent a little more for this type of update I never regretted it. Other 4GB cards are a lot more spendy than this one.

You can use two of these with 2 of the 4GB you currently have with no problem. I'm currently doing the same myself. Just make sure you alternate the slots you place the in. Such as 1&3 for one set and 2&4 for the other set.

I would agree to go for the 4gig, but wait a while because sandisk offers frequent mail in rebates. Including the rebate, I saw this item for 115$, brand new on Buy.com. I was angry because I bought it a few days earlier for 125$. The price changes alot, so be patient and wait for a good deal.

It can also be purchased through EVGA with the same price, promotion, and the same rebate. Only, EVGA will charge $4.99 for shipping. If Amazon does not offer this promotion, clearly it's best to purchase elsewhere. I have already been stung once by Amazon on a promotional game that they would not issue the game code. Oct. 4, I purchased a EVGA GTX 680 Classified that came with Borderlands 2. They would not issue the code saying that I got the game with a previous GTX 680 purchase. The terms and conditions on GeForce.com say that the game code comes with the purchase of each graphics card, not one per household as Amazon states.

If you bought the items from "Amazon", then you got ripped off. You actually bought from third party sellers that are simply selling the product at a jacked up price but have no actual inventory of the card. Once the normal etailers have stock, they will buy the card from them and then turn around and ship to you. total scam.

Thanks for your question! There is some crossover between Amazon catalogs, with some items being available for order at more than one of our websites. It's our goal to offer you the best selection at the best prices, regardless of where you live but in some cases it'll be more economical to order from one of our sites over another. There are many factors that can cause a price difference such as exchange rate and import costs. I'd recommend that you compare the available options on both sites and choose the combination of speed, price and availability that best suits your needs. I hope this helps!

No you are wrong. The description says 1GB. If it was two it would say 2x1GB. So you would have to buy 4 of these. Why would they show two? No special reason. Maybe they only had that picture. But they are good sticks. If the price was two sticks for that price, that would be super outstanding.

I had the same problem. I found out that I needed a 1 gig card and had bought one that had too many gig. I tried the 1 gig and it worked just fine. Good luck with it.

download card can be used right away while you have to wait for the leaplet to arrive. The download card has the set price while if buying from amazon the card prices actually change I bought one for 16$ the last time I ordered and today its 17. They both are 20$ credit and are used to buy the same items. It would however be neat if you were allowed to buy different amounts instead of 20 at a time

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the product itself. I believe Amazon prices tend to fluctuate day to day, depending on inventory levels. My guess is there are just more of the 1-packs in stock right now, so the prices are set to incentivize customers to purchase that pack size instead of the 2-pack.

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

Thanks,I was planning on buying a 2gb card. You just "saved" my life, Did you try the 1gb card yet?

The short, honest answer here is that I really do not know. Given some of the problems that I have experienced with this card, though, I suspect that using two of these in one machine would lead to frustration.

I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !?Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H; was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same.The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H; brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.
