I'm shopping around to get a feel for prices...

Here's a price comparison site that's pretty effective, but not necessarily the best prices: killerapp.com

In addition, I found a local site with pretty good prices:

atacom.com

For me, I'd get hit with the CA 8.25% sales tax.

JW, The PC100 RAM is CAS2, not "CASE". This is important for overclocking. CAS2 is faster response on the "column" synchronization and supports higher OC rates. Getting CAS2 ECC memory can't hurt: ECC is error-correcting memory.

128 PC100 CASE SDRAM DIMM w/ECC. (do i need ecc?)

Your machine will run about 3% slower with ECC RAM. I believe it is standard with servers. With high quality Samsung RAM I would consider the non ECC option. I do not recall many posts recommending ECC. I think Networm recommended ECC. I wonder if Networm lurks from time to time?
