472488 2006-07-21 01:33:00 Just wondering if anyone knows where in Wellington I can walk into a store and get a good price for 2x256 Mg DDR400 PC3200 dual channel RAM?

I've been waiting 2 weeks for some I ordered online and have reached the limit of my patience hence wanting to go pick it up myself.

Cheers

Do you know if that includes delivery on a saturday?
I ask because I know couriers don't always deliver on the weekend.

There was an option on their order form to specify Saturday delivery the last time I ordered.

Note that their cut-off time for next-day delivery is 2pm so you may have missed out for delivery tomorrow now. Unless Wellington orders have a little longer.

Would suggest you get in touch with them and find out if you are interested.

That does not mean anything. On three different occasions with three different couriours I have paid extra for Saturday delivery and not once has it ever been delivered on Saturday even though it should have.

When asked why it was not delivered I was told "we don't do Saturday deliveries there" and not once was I able to get my money back even though it had been accepted to do a Saturday delivery.

472495 2006-07-21 12:49:00 I dont know where you can get good deals in Wellington, but most pair of DDR rams should be able to run in dual channel mode if your mboard supports. The price you can expect from a decent dealer is 40 - 50 dollars + gst for each 256 PC3200 DDR400. The wholesale price in Christchurch is 40.

472496 2006-07-23 22:29:00 Ahh ok I didn't know this, the advertising for dual channel memory seems somewhat misleading then, as it seems to indicate it's to do with the memory and not just whether the motherboard allows it. Nutter (10601)
