    I would like to save 80 bucks...
    Should I go with Newegg?
    Does it look like the Newegg/Crucial memory will work in my Dell 9100?

    I will not buy from Dell. I am very unhappy with their service.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the OEM memory will be fine. Save yourself the $ and get that over the retail. Also check out OCZ and Corsair memory.

    What about this option?
    Speed DDR 333 (PC 2700), Cas Latency 2.5 seems to be the only difference. price $108 Newegg. I have 2 sticks of 256 DDR 333 now.
