Hello everyone,

Some of you may have seen a msg or two from me lately, 
referring to an HP3k/979 with ONLY 256Mb of RAM. I've 
gotten a lot of email from hardware vendors, and quotes 
FAXed to me as well. 

Third Party Memory is drastically less expensive than HP 
memory, and everyone knows the old saying "You get what 
you Pay For", but that's not always the case, is it? I mean 
why buy the name brand prescription drug when the generic 
is exactly the same thing. On the other hand, when it comes 
to GM parts, I'll always pay extra for the authentic GM quality. 
So it is, that some copies are exactly the same quality as 
the original, and some copies just don't compare.

Which way is it when it comes to HP vs Third Party memory?

Does anyone on the list have any nightmare's, or bad 
experiences with third party mem?

Having NO support from HP, is that a problem when the Mfg. 
of the memory gives you a lifetime Warrantee?

Any pointers in this area will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
