I've never heard of memory.com before, so I have no advice on them. B When I need computer parts, I almost always find myself ordering from newegg.com. I've spent a couple grand with them over the past 4 or 5 years, ordering everything from routers and USB drives to power supplies and CPU's, to and entire 'kit' systems. They have a memory-upgrade/guide applet too, and I've used it several times in the past in helping upgrade a friend's or relative's computer. I've never had a problem with them. They ship promptly and their prices are usually (but not always) about the best I can find. And for the record, I have no affiliation with them. I'm just a satisfied customer. Oh, and another +1 for Crucial memory. Good stuff. I've never had a memory-related problem when using Crucial, even their 'Value-Select' line. In my experience, it's worth the extra couple of dollars over generic memory. O/T: 12mb, eh? That's pretty good. I'm on Verizon DSL in my neck of the woods. I have their fastest service offered here, 3mb/768k for $29/month and I'm quite happy with the cost & service. Very reliable and I get very consistent true dl speeds of 2.85-2.9mb/s even during peak hours. Our local cable co offers a 20mb service for about $60/month that one of my co-workers subscribes to. He says it's pretty fast. I'm surprised to hear that some of you living in far more urban areas don't have better broadband options. I live in a podunk town of 19k people in the middle of farm country in central Illinois.

I pay $41 per month now for the 12 megs down and 768 kb up plan. I was paying $30 for 3 megs down and 300+kb up.
The actual speed I tested was 9 megs down and 3.8 megs up as mentioned.
They actually have another plan that is $60 per month that is supposedly up to 20 megs down.

The SF Bay Area has crappy options for connectivity. I don't know why. Freakin' AT&T and Craptastic probably have something to do with that. Damn I wish we had Verizon.
We have a 10MBit symmetrical connection at the office. It's only costing us about $2000/month--of course, that includes about a mile of dark fibre, a rack with 2 20 amp circuits, etc...

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Your developers had connections. Those developers must have had a lot of forsight! Most of the homes in my neighborhood were built between 1900 and 1920. Many of them, including mine, still have gas lines running in the walls for gas lighting. Heck, a buddy's house still has connected gas lines in the walls, which means that every nail that he drives into the wall could potentially blow up his house. Fun! No, my home was not even designed for electricity, let alone high-speed internet.
