Need info on buying memory

[volunteer]

I was all set to buy some memory modules from Crucial but had to cancel at the last minute due to their processing. They wanted my SS# and birthdate! I refuse to give that to anyone on the internet. What other brand of RAM and seller do you recommend?

Newegg.com sells ram made by Crucial.

So Crucial wants crucial information!! If this is true, I urge all consumer to stop supporting this outfit..

I just placed a order with them and there was no request for SS# nor birfday.. Volunteer, would you please provided addition information regarding your experience!!

I got to the last? page and they asked me to confirm my credit card by entering my birthdate and the last four digits of my SS#. This I won't give out. Either they have changed their policies or they were nabbed by a rouge site. I may email them and ask.

The first question is, why would anyone buy anything from a manufacturer when the retail stores are cheaper?
As has been stated, NewEgg has Crucial, OCZ, Kingston and other quality memory.
No birthdate or SS#.

In theory, if someone stole your card - they Couldn't answer the two very common questions.

The last four digits are worthless to someone without the first five digits
