Hmm, Ive never heard of em. Although, I can't say I see the point of buying from them when you are going to be paying near the same price to just get it from direct from Dell.

even if you find out they are good.

Would you still risk it on ebay?

I wouldn't

Only? This is $100. Do you realize just how much of a profit Dell is making there? I hope you were being sarcastic...

And yeah, I wouldn't touch anything on ebay with a 10 foot pole.

I don't think there is anything wrong with eBay for small purchases, but for this large of an investment it doesn't seem worth the risk. Just my 2 cents. Also, buy RAM from any normal e-tailer and upgrade it yourself, Dell charges far too much for RAM upgrades.

i know that dell is making money from telling people to bend over and take it, thats how they do business. i sure as hell wouldnt pay for an upgrade like that.. thats easy stuff to swap out, same with the harddrive
