Bruce, 
	Take a look at pricewatch.com. Not too shabby. This week I picked up 1.5 G 
of ram for $225 (inc. shpg). This is major brand (IBM) tested / guaranteed 
ram (PC133). There were a number of other bargains. If nothing else, cruise 
over there so you will be equipped with price ranges before heading out to a 
local store to make the actual purchases. 

I ordered from pcboost.com and paid extra for Priority-FedEx shipping (2-3 
days) (reflected on the invoice as $26.25 S&H) but actually got 5 day 
delivery (Standard Overnight). I'm not too happy about that aspect of it but 
the ram is here and I am disinclined to debate the ~$6 difference in shipping 
price. Just be advised not to bother paying these folks anything extra for 
haste.
