Any places that sell those fast 2GB sticks and ship overseas?

I've been trying to find some of the memory in Anandtech's Fast 2GB DDR Kits review the other day.

At first I tried searching for the Mushkin Redline XP4000 and two stores (Monarch Computers and Directron) that had it don't ship overseas. That also seems to be the case with most places...

So I was wondering if anyone knew good US stores (they seem to be the cheapest) for any fast 2GB RAM kits that ship overseas? (I'm in New Zealand)

Thanks so much!

Ok. I couldn't be bothered running doen every link, so just goto "http://www.staticice.com.au/", and do a search for whatever you want. It'll find you the cheapest prices in Oz. I can't guarantee they'll ship to NZ, but it's probably more likely coming from here than the US. If you really get stuck, you can send me the money, I'll buy you the stuff, and mail it over myself.

BtW, I'm pretty sure http://www.nintek.com.au/ sell the Mushkin Redline.

No worries mate. If you get stuck, PM me, and I'll see if i can find a place that ships to our cousins over the Tasman sea.

Thanks again. I found ncms.com.au and justmakecomputers.com.au ship to New Zealand so far.

By the way though, I see you have the Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 pack. I was planning on getting Corsair TWINX2048-4000PT 2GB - 3-4-4-8 set, but then on those online stores I see there's Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 2GB at 2-3-3-6 for less than $20 more. Looking at the recent RAM round up on Anandtech, the 4000PT when running at DDR400 comes down to 2.5-3-3-7, but there's no mention of this other lower clock speed but faster timing sticks. Having said that though, looking at the benchmark results there it seems clock speed has by far the most real world impact. But I wonder am I missing something?

Are you going to be overclocking? If so, then the PC4000 speed will make a difference. But if you're not Overclocking, then the 3200C2 would be a better choice.

Good question, I haven't before but I'd like to give it a go. I chose the other hardware with the plan of trying to overclock. I'll go with the PC4000 then.

I have heard there is not much performance increase when you overclock the memory. I have heard it is better to used memory dividers and overclock processor only.
