I've found that Googlegear usually has the best price for XMS sticks.

True BUT the big difference is Newegg and Googlegear are reputable retailers. I haven't bothered to check the other company's RR score but I'll bet they're on the lower end of the spectrum. I have personally found that going with the cheapest company usually gets you the least after-purchase service and the most after-purchase screwing.

I have used Googlegear once, and never again. I ordered a stick of RAM, rec'd it, and it was the wrong one. I mistakenly ordered the wrong one. Never opened it, and emailed them to return, and wanted to order a more expensive stick. They were going to charge me a restocking fee (15%).. I wouldn't buy from them again if they were the only vendor on the planet. Crucial, and NewEgg for me. Thanks.

Generally, I call if there's a problem like that so you can avoid the 15% restocking fee. Email will get you very standardized answers whereas a phone call is a bit more personal and you can really explain your situation better.

This is a good idea, although sometimes falls on the first jump- ever tried phoning compaq tech support?

OMG, let's not go there...OEM tech support has so much to be desired.

LOL, my laptop's a Compaq, second hand as well. There's no such thing as "help on tech support" from compaq for new PC owners, try calling and explaining you got one of these things 2nd hand, 3rdparty

It's funny but Compaq "quality" is what got me started building computers. I had three die on me in six months (two desktops and a laptop) so I finally gave up and built my own 1.33GHz Tbird

*raises hand* yeah me too...its worth a few extra bucks to go with a good company, NEWEGG is awsome, i had a problem, and they refunded me fully, no restocking fee nothing, i would recomend them to anyone, always good to buy from, except they have OEM XMS from corsair, unless you dont care about that, but yeah...

It's sad really, as that's what Compaq is famous for- build quality
