Simplest solution, as others have said, is just to buy from OWC. Prices are about the same, at around $27 for the 128MB modules, they give you a lifetime warranty, and shipping abroad is reasonable, especially for RAM: with their $10 online discount, it is around $20 to Europe for the 15 sticks you mentioned. I've recommended OWC in the past as the best online store for buyers outside the US, and I stick by that recommendation. Chris -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
