Does anyone have an opinions or best practices on buying DRAM for Cisco devices? I'm not talking about the rock-bottom-priced stuff from Taiwan or China. I always go with Kingston, Samsung, Viking, etc. I can't justify paying 2,370% more for Cisco RAM than the same stuff I'd get from Kingston (comparing the price difference between Kingston and Cisco for 1GB to max out a 2821). Does anyone have any tips or recommendations? I've never had any trouble with TAC with regards to memory. Has anyone else? I liken buying RAM from Cisco to buying RAM from Sun. You just don't do it. The last time I ordered RAM from Sun they literally shipped me 4 sticks of Kingston ValueRAM. They didn't even both to repackage it. We paid over $2500 for that RAM which could have been had at the time for $350 via PC Mall. Any and all comments are welcome.
Thanks J
