Ah yess... actually I can get the Kingston stuff locally.
However at the moment I'm happily married and want to keep it that way!

Everything is in pairs too. Actually its a lot cheaper than when it 
first came out, but still
a lot more than your corner shop DDR-2 stuff.

Fully buffered memory there is $56.99 for a 1 Gig stick.  That's
hardly an arm and a leg.  Considering many pgsql DBAs make that in 1
to 3 hours, it's not much at all really.  A lot cheaper than pulling
your hair out trying to make a db server run on 1 Gig.
