    Hello,

    I need to pick up the following RAM tomorrow from a shop in Dublin.

    Can anyone recommend a shop that might supply Kingston RAM

    KCP426NS8/8

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    It doesn't have to be the same exact ram. As long as it's the same type eg DDR4 non-ECC it'll work, but obviously ideally you'd want it at the same speed, i.e a 2400mhz and 2666mhz stick together will default to 2400mhz.

    Anywhere else?, a little nearer city center?

    Thanks for the advice, can you recommend a shop near city center?

    if it doesn't have to be new memory then you could try CEX, there are I think 3 in the city centre

    I'd also recommend checking Adverts.ie for any sellers in Dublin.

    Only downside is they don't test RAM at all and often you'll get faulty ram/ECC ram...not too bad if your local place is nearby but a massive pain if you've traveled or made effort to get there.
