If you want to get a decent but cheap backup system go for a cheap Dell. Hi Shaw, I don't believe Crucial sell full systems, just peripherals such as memory and graphics cards.

I just got a virus on my main computer at home, and while I was able to fix it, I decided I better get one for back up. I was going to go to costco, but I'll check the site out!

I'm in South Africa so I don't know if they would take time sending goods I bought online to me. Damn it! Wow, it sounds like a great service.

I get mine from ebuyer and the 2gigs (2 x 1gig sticks) came in at £23.22. Definitely a top brand for the price.

Khalid - I know the feeling. About 18 months ago I spent over £60 on 2 * 512mb sticks for my old laptop. Before I'd got the new RAM in it started to overheat and shut down, and so it was a waste of a purchase! Kevin – I've never seen RAM with lights on it!

I think I paid several hundred for 4Gb of ram for my Mac Pro. It's a fraction of that now! And 1Gb for my laptop comes in at £12! If only I had a spare slot on my laptop to fill!

I also upgraded one of my older laptops with crucial and never had any problems. For such a respected brand, they're usually well priced. I've never bought from them directly though, always via somewhere like ebuyer.com, so it's good to know that direct is an option (ie. i'll order directly if they're cheaper!).
