DVL-Digest 1057 - Postings: Index Beware of buying online from... Off to DV Expo... PYRO? for firewire Beware of buying online from... - Adam Wilt I've also had good luck with Crucial. But recently I tried out a Chicago vendor I hit it first from a link on pricewatch, looking to stick a Gig in the DigiSuite. Picked out two ECC registered 512MB generic PC100 DIMMs that matched the specs. Ordered, got 'em; the mobo only saw 256MB on any of the DIMMs. Did the usual troubleshooting steps; checked my BIOS, etc. No luck. Called Premier's tech support. The friendly and efficient chap spent about two minutes asking questions, then issued an RMA. A week later, I had four ECC registered 256MB Infineon PC133 DIMMs which worked perfectly. No charge, even though the new memory listed for about 15% more (even with the price drops that were the rule at the time). It came time to add memory to my G4 Cube (because OS X in 128MB is painful) and G4 Sawtooth (because FCP and After Effects and Photoshop can never have too much). Dealram pointed to MemorySuppliers. Two 512MB DIMMs ordered, two installed, perfect operation. They carry everything from SIMMs to DIMMs to DDR to RAMBUS to CF and Memory Sticks. Good prices -- often not the absolute lowest possible but usually within a few percent of the lowest. And so far, I'm a happy puppy, and will try 'em again next time I need memory.

I'm the nerdy guy teaching the DV tech classes; you' ll recognize me by the frog on my head. The frog will be wearing a wifebeater.
