Advantages: Cheap - superb quality, Excellent Memory Selector, Great deal, shipping and returns policy

We all know that adding more RAM to your computer is an effective, fast way of speeding it up and putting some extra kick into an ageing machine. It is also common knowledge in the techie world that memory prices are at an all-time low and now's the best time to go out and get some.
Now that you're raring to go and spend your hard-earned cash, where do you begin? There are so many places to choose from, high-street stores, mail-order, internet, magazines, it could all be a bit baffling and that’s before you even nail what spec you need.
The simple answer to this is to go to http://www.crucial.com/uk and have a browse. Crucial are world-renowned for making the best memory in the business and because of this they can afford the great prices they offer.
Once logged on, you can tell that security is assured by the gold Verisign Site Security crest, taking good care of all your details.
The choices to be made about your memory can become quite complicated as certain computer motherboards (the area inside your computer that allows all the components to talk to each other) will only accept certain types of memory with certain specifications.
The correct choices can be made with a click of a button using the site's ingenious, foolproof Memory Selector. You'll need to get out the computer manual to check the motherboard model for it, and then you're away. You can also enter in the make and model of the computer. The function then lists the exact types of memory compatible with your system!
All you have to do is add the correct modules and quantities to your shopping basket and head for the checkout. Ordering is then very simple and, of course as safe as houses. If its your first time, they'll ask you to make an account which will only store your name, address and phone number. After that, entering payment details is simple and there's help along the way if needed.
On top of the great price
s compared to other manufactures, special delivery is FREE. This means the package will arrive by 12noon in the next two business days. When you order online, you also receive a 15% discount on the standard price! There are plenty of payment options to choose from; cheque, debit card, credit card or even wire transfer.
AND, if for any reason at all that the memory isn't compatible with your computer, they'll exchange it for a different module, refunding the difference. This is exactly what I had to do after selecting the wrong memory, I was put on to a sales assistant and given a returns code to send with the package and the new RAM came 2 days later!
There couldn't be a more easy online transaction to deal with and you don't need ANY technical know-how to do it, only the skill of clicking the mouse!
