ok FINALLY I'm looking to spend my hard earned on some more ram and video card I have pc2100 and I think I'll just go for 1 512 meg sim and a FX5600. I was wondering where you would recomend buying from?
Looks like scan will take my $$$ atm.

It's all about what happens when things go wrong...
Overclockers were good for me. Their returns procedure took ages for a failed mobo/athlon chip, but at the time loads of ham fisted gits were crushing cores so they needed to protect themselves.
Scan are bloody awful when things go wrong, and had no clue where my order was. Apparently it was cancelled, but it turned up and my card was charged. I ended up keeping the PSU as it was just too much pain to try and return it for a refund
DABS have been great too. I haven't used their returns, but a friend swears by them as they occasionally send parts out to replace stuff before receiving the old part. I don't know if this is still the case.
Cheers,
Nick.

For who? Crucial? http://www.crucial.com/uk/.
I think you put the code in when you go to checkout (a long time since I did it!)
If not Crucial...would help if you put whose web address you wanted
