Specifically, the 512 meg PC133 chip for $159AUD...

That seems extremely suspisciously cheap...

The vendor is "SEITEC"... anyone heard of them?

The exact item is:

"PC133 S-DIMM 512meg SEITEC"

For my Sawtooth Tower... Its $159 AUD, so its very cheap. Other places, such as th is place, which lists their:

"512MB SAMSUNG PC133 SDRAM" as $257...

So yeah, just wondering what the go is with this "SEITEC" mob...

While I'm at it, the first place mentioned has a Western Digital 80 gig 7200 rpm HD for $435, which seems amazingly cheap... are these drives any good or what? Its less expensive then the 60 gig 60GXP from IBM...

TIA

Been using a Western Digital in my Beige G3 for about four months now and it's been great. Very quiet and reliable. I could recommend this one.

Never heard of the RAM vendor you mentioned. My only advice for this one is: you get what you pay for...

Good quality 512MB 133MHz 168 pin DIMMs should be going for around $133 presently, though that could change in a few days as it always does.
