As do I, but I research first. I upgraded my CPU recently too, oddly
enough. Only problem is that I run a Mac. =) As for the cheapest vendor,
I don't see any problem buying various parts from the many Mac vendors
(Call 1-800-248-0800 and ask for one of their calalogs [MacZone], you'll
see what I mean). When you come to support (hardware/software/tech),
we're equal.
