Re: [TCLUG:21990] Computer stores in the Twin Cities?

Bo knows baseball, Tran knows RAM.  He probably doesn't want you to use
the super-cheap 133 stuff because he knows it's crap.  He offers it so he
can say he's got PC-133 DIMMs as cheap as the next guy, but the
ultra-cheap RAM probably can't keep up at 133MHz indefinately.  He would
hate for you to buy an expensive Athlon system with 133MHz fsb and then
have it dog because you bought el-cheapo RAM.
