flavallee, is this the exact same one as the one you showed me for $26?

If so, then I'm gonna go ahead and get it since the one from the CRUCIAL website will cost me $30 with shipping. This one is almost half the price! Please let me know if there is anything different about them?

Yep, they're both DDR2 PC2-5300 modules.

I've never bought from NewEgg, so I don't know how reliable they are. They do have a good rating though for having among the cheapest prices.

hmm reliable as far as what? not ever getting the product? or possibly unreliable in that they don't send a genuine Crucial brand? I am going to purchase it, so if it's the former, I'll be able to let you know if I ever get it. I just hope that they are reliable enough to actually send to me what I am buying.

Like I said, I've never purchased from NewEgg. I have from Crucial though for several years.

Don't mean to jump into this tread....I've purchased things off newegg for years. My last 3 computers were built entirely from things purchased through them. Through it all, i've only had 1 DOA part, and never received anything other then what I was buying.

I've heard great things from Crucial, but never used them. But hey, It's your choice

[hewwo2u2]

I bought the crucial RAM off of Newegg. I guess we'll see when it gets here!

Right you need to know Crucial is a manufacturer and it's actually MIcron brand and many retailers carry it. It is amongst the best ram available.
