Cristy,
    I buy parts from several online retailers, but Newegg is always my first 
choice.  In fact, I have three different accounts there for different 
things.  They have all of my info there and I don't worry about that even 
for a second at this point.  No Spam from affiliates, no other garbage, but 
they do send me mailings showing their specials a couple times a week.  I 
appreciate that, but you can select not to receive them when you open an 
account (or anytime, for that matter).

    You can create an account without giving them any CC info.  That's only 
needed if you decide to purchase something there.  An account without 
purchase will still allow you to get their specials sent to you and enable 
the use of what's called a Wish List.  Basically, you use the online store 
to locate stuff you want and put it into your Wish List.  You can then watch 
for price reductions, sales, etc. or just use it to remind you why you're 
saving up your pennies.           lol

    Different types of memory have different amounts of pins that slip into 
the memory slots and make contact with them.  The pins are actually nothing 
more than metal contacts on the bottom of the RAM sticks.  DDR happens to 
have 184 of them.  DDR2, DDR3 and other types of RAM have a different amount 
of these pins.

Peace,
Gman
