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!

    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.

    well, i bought mine from a guy over at the ars technica forums. (link: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/...562&f=57909216 )



    it looks like they go for about the same on ebay:

    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!
