Yes, I know it's impossible if you shipping is not considered, and still
higher unless overnight shipping is considered, in most cased. The
question is, can you be close enough to justify buying RAM in town except
when absolutely needed NOW?

I expect that if I'm buying Crucial, I'm paying for Crucial, don't worry
about that so much. The fact that it's what you've got increases the
value in my mind, rather than decreasing it. Especially if you can make
it worthwhile when compared to the cost of faster shipping options.

Yeah, you'd think Gateway was such a dealer, but I'm starting to wonder
watching their order handling and tracking which would be enough to drive
anyone smaller directly into the dirt.
