Newegg dropped their 1.8A price to 191 as well.. and they charge less for shipping...

Everything is fine except for the above. Kingston RDRAM has serious problems running at higher speeds. You need Samsung RDRAM on a Samsung module; nothing else will do for 533+MHz RDRAM speeds.

Instead, you need to get two of the Samsung modules with 16 devices for 2*80=$160 from Googlegear right here.
