I was thinking about going there this saturday at the cow palace to get some RAM. I was wondering if anyone has been to it before to see if it's even worth the drive all the way out there.

if you need cheap ram, check out CENTRAL COMPUTERS.

i buy all sorts of LIFETIME WARR ram from them...

one store in newark by newpark.

i used to go to those all the time ~5-6 years ago. they used to be the best price in town. Now internet/Frys is often cheaper and more reliable

Central Computer rocks. There is one in Santa Clara too on Steven's Creek @ Saratoga.

RAM at a computer show...scary. My luck I'd end up with DOA sticks.

I used to work for the Caloptic booth for that,
first, the people that run it are ***** in general, they are problematic and give people **** all the time (well at least the vendors)

second, there are usually trinkets for sale etc and general cheapo stuff, frys is a way better buy (refund etc)

third, what used to be a huge show is now miniscule hence the halt of us vending there

all in in all
don't go it sucks

glad I asked... I wouldn't have went just for RAM, it was just one thing I'm looking for. I know that I can get good deals elseware too, I just thought I'd check it out... but it sounds like a dump.

IMO, the folks who run the show aren't the nicest. You can get better deals at Fry's.

I went in their to ask them if they could test my RAM since I didn't have a 2nd computer on hand and the guy turned me down, then a nice guy in the back popped out and offered to do it. We tipped him $20 for not being an ******* and then one of the (no racism intended) asian guys (i'm guessing one of the of the owners) yelled at him as we where walking out. I forgot to mention we found out it was the mobo and then we bought an Asus t2 there (in the same visit since we had the computer too).
