If you are uncertain - don't buy via internet, check RAM's by inserting before buying. Well worth the added cost. The 945 AFAIK has problems with 2GB sticks, I'ld at least go with RAM's listed on the (board?) manufacturer's site.

Knowing the prices via internet helps guard you against unreasonable prices, but if the setup works at todays RAM prices even a 15 - 20% addon might be worth your while and will keep such *services* alive. If your store is good, the addon will be markedly lower.
