    Very good company to buy from.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    If the RAM is for your own computer, and not a computer you are selling, I would buy branded RAM 'cos the cheap stuff can be slow and could crash your pc at a crucial point ;)

    I don't think you can beat these http://www.crucial.com/uk/ they might be a tad more expensive (or not) but they guarantee their memory to be fully compatable I have bought from these several times and never had a problem, They also do an online scanner to recommend memory upgrade that is guaranteed compatible with your system. Hope this helps

    Have to agree. They do good RAM and have great cust services. Also if you go through the likes of Quidco, you get some extra % in cashback.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.uk is pretty cheap.

    Although agree with the previous posters. Go with Crucial. Good prices and good customer service. They normally deliver next working day!

    Although if you buy from overclockers.co.uk or ebuyer then it's even cheaper for crucial ram than crucial website + quidco.

    I like the crucial stuff as well (them being around 20 miles away has no bias - honest :-P ). Ebuyer is ok for memory though.
