Best Shop To Buy Ram

II_D2_II

my Uncle needs some ram for his PC (he currently has 256, running XP, his computer looks like its dieing :rotfl: )
but he doesnt want to purchase on the internet, so i was wondering if there are any high street shops other than maplins where he can purchase RAM from.

feel free to put some online shops too though, so when i show him this post he can see the price difference and may change his mind about buying online.

thanks in advance

Not the cheapest but I've never had a failure with Crucial, you can also check that you are getting the correct memory before you buy.
Why not volunteer to buy it for him?

I must also agree crucial for me

Also you'd ironically probably get better support (customer and technical) with online shops. I'll definitely second Scan, my favourite shop to get PC hardware.

Although many people hate them, PC World sell components including RAM.
Alternatively look for a small local computing shop, though they will likely have to order it, and you will probably pay a little more.

Do you happen to know what type of ram it is?

I totally agree with this.

And as for you Tradetime PC #+*'*' indeed, hang your head:D that's a swear word in our house.

Find out what RAM he needs, you buy it online and ask him to give you the money for it.

Gotta vouch for crucial here too...

Im just thinking it sounds a fairly dated pc now so might be worthwhile just buying some second hand ones off ebay.
