Crucial.com has a UK-based site - you're better off going for named brands like Crucial, Kingston etc. rather than the un-named stuff. It may cost more, but it will save you no end of headaches - especially if you're using an OS that is more memory intensive, such as Win2k or XP.

You might want to check that original RAM you picked up. I just posted elsewhere about getting ECC instead of NON-ECC. Can cause some huge problems. If you did, sometimes you can resell it, 'cause it's worth more and is designed for dual processors' and the like.

ECC memory on a non-ECC board will just give you nice beeps when you power up. And oh yes they are worth about twice. but nobody will put them in a server. I would rather buy them from crucial just in case they really messed them up and it spikes the server board or so.
