If anyone has suggestions for places to find the best prices on memory
upgrades that I can use for my PIII 450 linux box I would appreciate it.
I am going to be using it as a server and need at least PC100 128 meg
chips (though I would like to buy 256 if I could find an affordable
source). I have looked at several mainstream mailorder places and prices
vary widely. Y'all can email me directly if you think this is not of
general interest to others. Thanks much.

sources.  good shopping!

Pricewatch.com is a good place to start looking.  It's an advertising 
place with a search engine.

I would check out www.pricewatch.com first to see what's there. I've
bought several modules from www.memorymonster.com, which one of my
engineers found through the pricewatch site. Good price, good
merchandise (PNY), terrible email response, no phone. (Misspellings, no
order number, etc. Obviously a garage type low budget operation.) But
the stuff worked, delivery time was quick to the US east coast, and the
price was right. No sales outside the USA. Don't know where you're
located.

hmmm... just the other day I saw a 128mb dimm on hardwarestreet.com for
$230 or so. I believe that's less than what I saw on pricewatch...

   I could use another 128 myself.  I'm waitin' (hopin) for after
Christmas, that's the usual deal.  Last year I got a good price on
excellent ram from memman.com,   pc100 they said was good for
124mhz cas2, I used it at cas3 133.6 mhz, 3.3v for a long time, now
it's 126 mhz cas2 3.4v.

I don't buy the 'earthquake' reasons for ram prices being so
high after the early summer low.  I suspect it's the yearly
'September Flush' and 'Christmas computers' that've got us in a
bind.

 Damn Windows and flight sims are gonna drive me into the 
 poorhouse  ;-)
