I just bought OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 from ebay.com for $36.00 ($32.00 plus $4.00 shipping) I looked on newegg.com and found G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 also $36.99 plus free shipping but I want a second opinion Do you that I should have OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 from ebay or G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 from newegg.com? I did research on the OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM some people on newegg said that One or both memorys were DOA.

Is the memory on e-bay used? If it is I would be leary of it. With newegg you are getting new memory with the option to RMA it if it is bad. As long as the memory is compatitabe with each other you should be ok.
