Buying RAM from a walk in shop

HugoMyBoss · 05-10-2018 12:13PM #1

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.
