512MB PC800 RDRAM RIMM

Group;

I need to upgrade my system with 1GB of PC800 RDRAM RIMM.
I found this Ram and it cost about $360.00 compared to everyone else that has it for $500 and up. Is this the same quality or should I get the more expensive Ram?

If it were me, I would seriously consider it, as I have brought exspensive name-brand Ram before & still got a dud.

What you have to assure yourself with, if something goes pear-shaped, will the support be there and/or after-sales service.

The price is ok but I do not like it when they will not tell you who it is by!

I also think the $180.00 each price isn’t so bad.

I also found this web site and they have several brands to choose from.

I’m going to get the IBM original. Thanks for the help!

This is the best place I found so far and I can get the memory for $130.00 each.
