    Shop4Memory are pretty reasonable for these products.. Have a look..

    They also stock some with built-in Radio/MP3 players, here

    Can't comment on quality of the products etc. But Shop4Memory were very good to deal with when I bough PC RAM from them..

    Komplett looks slightly cheaper though (but shop4mem is free postage).

    thanks krusty. These USB keys are 'plug & play' right? i wouldnt need to install any drivers for win 2000 right?

    For Win2K and XP, you should be fine without a driver.. For older OS'es (e.g. 98) you would likely need a driver..

    For the one's with extra functionality, e.g. MP3 Player you'd probably get away without a driver, but it would be a good idea to check out the manufacturers web-sites (or drop them an E-Mail).

    i've got the 128mb version of this that was on special from kopmlett a couple of weeks ago, i'd recommend it apart from the fact that it looks good, it is not at all bulky which means it fits into nearly all usb ports i reckon which can be a problem with the fat bastard pen drives

    thanks for the replies lads. the 256MB on komplett is outta stock until the 20th so i might hold on until then or else i might get the 128Mb version for €41 or so.

    sound job
