Just thought it worth mentioning that you are not responsible to pay for
merchandise that differs materially from what you agreed to buy. You noted
that you "hope to be re-imbursed". Dont hope, buy everything with a credit
card. If you receive non-conforming or defective merchandise or fail to
receive what you ordered on a timely basis simply dispute the charge with
your card company. The charge will be reversed and you are made whole. You
can then return the defective product and buy elsewhere. I heartily
recommend Private Issue card by Discover. They accept disputes by telephone
and reverse the charge without hassle. Unless the vendor can then prove you
authorized the charge and received what was bargained for, the reversal
stands and you are off the hook. Plus PI gives you a 1% cash back bonus.

Subject: Cheap ram
I would like to caution against buying cheapest memory. Some processor
like AMD Athlon are very sensitive. Lately I upgraded my processor to
Athlon 800 MHz and knowing this fact decided to buy brand name memory.
Through the Internet I found MEMPLUS.COM, which was selling Micron
modules at reasonable price. It was more than no-name products, but I
preferred to pay premium for the brand name.
When the memory arrived it was in the anti-static bag but did not have
any label(!). Upon installation I got a blue screen of death. I moved
this memory to other machine using PIII processor. I was able to run it
and the diagnostic software indicated that this is not Micron and one
section is faulty. Several weeks ago I returned it and hope to be
re-imbursed.
Just a warning against buying from MEMPLUS.
