The Official Computer Memory Thread

[Peter Parker]

I have had pretty good luck lately finfing low prices on Dell and Gateway memeory at http://www.4allmemory.com I was wondering where the rest of you shop?

Tiger direct was where I bought my last... (been awhile though)

 

[thiggin2]

I usually buy most of my stuff from www.dalco.com

Same here, about a month ago (1G for my laptop, $130 or so).

 

[dfergie]

everyone knocks tigerdirect... but I have always gotten good service from them...

same here... I ordered a 250gb HDD and 120DVD+Rs about 2 weeks ago and when the shipment was delayed a day they overnighted everything to me... without me requesting.

i usually either look at pricewatch.com or zipzoomfly.com

www.pricewatch.com here.... mad cheap memory, but just remember you are getting generic too.

It's not the quality or service that sucks, it's the rebates. TD was (still is?) notorious for having absolutely horrendous rebate processing. Rebates would often come up "lost", invalidated for nonsense reasons, or simply not fulfilled. That is a reason why TD got the bad reputation.

I do all my computer parts shopping at from allyourbaseonline

Some good discussion here. I wondered what it might generate.

crucial.com and newegg.com those are the only places I ever consider buying memory...

My last two purchases were 1Gb (2x 512mb) PC3200 Mushkin memory, one for my laptop, one for my desktop... laptop was $110, and desktop was $80

These are both from Newegg..

I have delt with a number of vendors on Pricewatch, and been burned too many times..

Newegg's ResellerRating is stellar, and is always my first choice.

I should point out that some of you mention pricewatch as a vendor, when its just a list of shady vendors, with a few decent ones mixed in...

 

[Devil24]

My top choices are ZipZoomFly or Monarch Computers.

Amazon.com

The shipping is free.

You can always get a better deal at the Marktplace, when you click on "Buy New or Used." The shipping is not free, but is is reasonable. I usually beat regular Amazon by about 30% or TigerDirect by about 40%. It is especially good for laptop memory.

 

[Kaluyen]

I am partial to Micron memory, so I go to Crucial.com (owned by Micron) for my memory. Excellent service, reliable stuff!

As for me, I usually buy all Dell upgrades from Dell directly. Saving a few bucks is not worth my time...
When something breaks down the road and I call Dell for immediate service, I don't want any fingerpointing, if you know what I mean...
