DDR2-800 FB-DIMM RAM supplier in UK?

[Synchro]

It's all very nice that the new Mac Pros support faster memory, but my usual sources (Crucial, Dabs, Ebuyer) just don't seem to have much (if any) DDR2-800 FB-DIMMs. Any suggestions as to where such memory can be sourced in the UK?

Also does anyone know if the new Mac Pros will take advantage of CAS3 rated memory?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?&groupid=701&catid=8&subid=813&rows=0best for online pc shopping imho ive used them since they was open and spent over 8,000 on there site never had a problem either!

hope you find what u looking for they got great range of ddr2 over 50 in fact!

Unfortunately that site rather underlines my point - there is loads of DDR2 stuff about (nearly all aimed at the gaming crowd who are not bothered about ECC etc), but almost none of it is Fully Buffered that the Mac Pros require. They do have some ECC FB DIMMS on there, but only the slower 5300 rated stuff the previous models used. In fact so far I've not found a single retailer selling DDR2 PC2-6400 ECC FB DIMMs...

Excellent news. I'm holding off buying a Mac Pro until after the show and funds permitting for a couple of weeks anyway.

Get it shipped from the USA. OWC is selling 8GB of qualified RAM for about £200. You won't find a deal like that here.

Have you gotten stuff from them before? Do you pay import duty?

I don't know much about RAM, but does the increase to 800 offer any benefits over the previous type?

Just ordered a 4GB Kit 2x2GB modules for £116 !!!!

It would probably be double in the UK

Lets hope I don't have to pay too much tax and duty

Synchro - I'm also trying to track down suitable ram in the UK.
From what I've found, the only option at the moment is to buy it overseas, but I won't be doing that.
When somewhere starts supplying, I'll post here.
