Most of the parts of my desktop computer came from there, as it happens. Okay, you win on the memory price; though I still frequently do not find such prices myself when I look online, it seems to be variable. But this one is there now. In fact I think I'll bring the server up to 4GB while I've got this open. I think that's exactly what I need, DDR2 ECC unbuffered. > Local stores are good when a part is needed quickly.
