Yes, just upgraded my system, got PC133 128mb CL2 from
www.tccomputers.com, no problem.

Got a quote from www.crucial.com and product was in stock. As a matter
of fact prices have come down a tiny amount.

YOu can also get some at www.memman.com.

Unfortunately, I prefer 2 sets on 128 rather than one 256, even though
the price is relatively the same for the total memory.

If we have a shortage of 256mb, that is normal during ramp-up. Win2k
will add to the demand.
