Thanks for posting this. I found out I can get memory here for about
1/3 of the cost of the next cheapest place and I can likely stretch out
the use of the computer another year or two that way....smile (I'm really
just too lazy to move it all to a new computer since I just use email,
word processing and web searches).
Once I figured out the memory I need, this is definitely the play to buy
it. Thanks again!
