Most retailers like Newegg just sell MB and CPU combos. I need that
plus memory. Who has a good site where you can build what you need?

I find that their service is better than newegg, the selection (of GOOD
QUALITY components) is better, and the prices are comparable. And their
motherboard bundle area includes memory options.

You forgot the power supply though. -Dave

Wrong answer. Right one is still Newegg, at least for homebuilt
computers. Retailers don't listen to you and suggest a custom-built
system. Not without mark-ups, higher resale values, assembly and
ancillary charges. Today I sent Newegg back a DVD-writer for similar
exchange, within a year warranty coverage for the unit. Don't try
that on a complete system without a lot reading fine print. The day
before today, on a 10lb. pound modeling amplifier, it cost me $30 to
return what the retailer spent $12 to ship me UPS. Newegg covered all
that, too. Learning this stuff, in other words, does offer
advantages.

Last time I checked, they sell all computer hardware.

You should know what memory goes with your system if you are
homebuilding. If you are that unsure, try your local CompUSA.

Here in this group.

Newegg is the most technically advanced online computer hardware
merchant. I'd rather there be more than one outstanding online
merchant for computer hardware, but Newegg is it. Their search
engine is the best, bar none. I had to cancel an item in an order at
Newegg, and to my pleasant surprise the cancellation process was
entirely automated. In my opinion, when adding something to my cart
it should not take me to another page. They should see that by the
percentage of times shoppers use the back button. But that IMO is a
small negative.

Nobody "knows" what memory goes in their system, that's absurd. You
pick a MB you like and then find the memory that goes in it by looking
at the manufacturer site or going to the memory manufacturer you like
and finding out which of their memories goes in it. Same for the
processor.

Or..

Use the BETTER answer that the other gentlemen gave which was what I
was looking for. Go to Mwave, pick a MB, then, from the pull down
list the memory and processor that goes in it. A LOT easier.

What is it about this business that attracts the self righteous with
their "your too stupid to be doing this" answers? And, as is usually
the case, they're the ones with the wrong answer.

Semantics.

Newegg provides a direct link to the manufacturer's product page.

Maybe.

Your original post sounds like you were lost without being told what
memory goes with the mainboard. I suggest you ask here instead of
using a bot to solve your configuration problems.

If you want the best technical answers provided by authors who treat
you with nothing but respect, ask in (24hoursupport.helpdesk) and

Tigerdirect at www.tigerdirect.com is good, they have combos that
include memory, also Zipzoomfly at www.zipzoomfly.com is good. Also,
if I can get the part for you, I will try to sell it to you for less
than manufacturer retail. Midlands Information Technology - www.midlandsit.com
. I have connections to several major distributors. Best wishes on
your search.
