Purchase advice: RAM for my new Emac?

Thread Starter 
I just purchased a new Emac and didn't buy any extra RAM from Apple. I plan to buy a 512 mb stick. Which is the best RAM for the buck?
(I saw Crucial has it for $124.99 and 8004Memory has a "hyperspeed" stick for $109 (+Free ship).
Thanks in advance!

PC133 isn't that expensive;

make sure you are looking at regular STANDARD SIZE PC133 DIMMS

NOT LAPTOP SIZE PC133 SO-DIMMS

the 512 stick should be less then $90

i bought a 512mb stick of crucial ram used for $50, so you might consider the used market.

Hmmmmm... Hadn't really put much thought into Ebay. Looks like lots of good choices there. (Some even sealed.) I'll have to check that out.
Thanks!
