Just been lucking at ram on owc :eek: its soo cheap, how can they do it?

Yeah, I know:mad:

If you find a cheap reliable source of guaranteed Mac memory here in the UK, be sure to post it here. I've yet to find one...

Cheers

Mac Pro Ram ain't cheap!!!!

Works out at £138. A lot cheaper that anything here in the UK, even if I get stung for the Vat.
Will let you know how it goes, but have seen good reports on this ram, and if all goes OK, will be ordering more from them.

OWC SHIPS INTERNATIONAL!

Yes, we do ship internationally and can ship to your country.

I was just going to say that OWC ought to ship to the UK, since I had something sent to me here in Korea (firewire box).
I liked dealing with OWC--there was a little monkey business with the wire transfer (damn those banks) that has subsequently kept me from ordering again.
However, I just may be ordering a fw800 box and 2GB ram stick to go with my incoming 24" iMac.
Anyway, OWC gave me very good service.
 
Just a little heads up, OWC have dropped their 2x1GB prices twice over the past 3 days down to $259.00 USD. A sign that the RAM demand has finally dropped. :D
