I've heard some trouble with PNY but also Kingston, others.
Why not wait to buy RAM?
also www.newegg.com for better prices, return policy?
I've been buying parts for a built computer for a while now, and I'm thinking about getting a pretty good deal at Staples (it's on sale). Anyway, the RAM is PNY PC2700 512MB for $60. I just wanted to know whether it should work on this PC, since the Staples return policy is terrible.
Here's my PC stats:
Motherboard: Intel D865PERL
Processor: Intel P4 Northwood 2.26 GHz 533 MHz FSB L1/12K+8K; L2/512K cache
Btw, I'm getting PC2700 RAM because since the processor's FSB is 533 MHz, the mobo won't support PC3200 unless I get a processor with an 800 MHz FSB. Also, since I'm not getting the PC until January or so, I won't know whether it works and the return policy window will be dead.
So, is PNY a good company for RAM, and should this RAM work for this PC?
Thanks.
