In short, both my son and I have MDD Dual 867's with a gig of ram. His
birthday is coming up so I thought I'd get each of us another gig (two

and max out our machines.  Has anyone had good or bad experiences with 
Coast to
Coast memory, (1-800-4-Memory) ?

I have never used that company. I always buy from DataMem.com. They 
have gone to extreme ends to ensure that I got the proper size chips at 
a competitive market price. Once, they had to send three different sets 
of dual 64Mb laptop chips because Gateway had made a product size 
change in the middle of a production run for the Solo laptop. There 
were finally three different sizes of chips for the same model laptop 
and the size depended on the manufacture date of the machine.

DataMem sent two sets of replacement chips without any extra cost, 
including shipping, before we finally got the information from Gateway 
about the correct physical size for the machine I was working on. It 
was a hassle, but it was caused by Gateway, not by DataMem.

My $.02 worth.
