Ditto. Their service is very good too; in the UK Crucial use Royal Mail Special Delivery which is a _very_ reliable next-working-day-AM delivery service and happens to be very convenient too. The only other comment is that I always buy ECC RAM when the board supports ECC - the point being that it's essentially immune to "cosmic ray bit flips" and the mayhem that can result as a consequence. IMO the extra cost is worth it and there doesn't seem to be any performance hit.
