Here's a nice disclaimer from Tom's vendor: "FREE USPS SHIPPING: applies only to orders which are placed online. There is no minimum order amount for the free USPS shipping. Average delivery is 3-7 business days but this is only an average and some locations may take longer. **If your order gets lost, there is no insurance and DMS takes no responsibility for packages which are lost by the United States Postal Service.**" Even funnier Tom, is that RAM for one of my home mobos is as follows: ASUS K8V: 1 GB ECC, PC3200, 1 stick: MemoryX: $89 DMS: $93 (Tom's vendor) Crucial: $80 Here's another that I just bought last week: Dell GX520, 1 GB Non-ECC, PC-4200 MemoryX: Didn't carry RAM for the very popular GX series, which is odd. DMS: $49.50 Crucial: $42 (I get a small discount off of that price) I guess I'll have to take back what I said about Tom's cheap-o RAM; it costs more. I've used Crucial for years, even in the servers I've built, in use every day for years. Zero problems. Crucial ships by a trackable shipper, usually UPS or FedEx. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
