Yeah, I didn't necessarily mean it to be a recommendation; I don't have
enough RAM-buying experience to have a good handle on who's reputable
and competent.  The last time I needed to buy RAM (for my son's
computer) I used https://www.mrmemory.co.uk/ and they seemed OK, but my
sense was that there were quite a lot of vendors without very much
obvious to choose between them.
