Quality of CORSAIR memory - 2 x 1GB sticks for $170...?
Seems to be quite a good deal. I have a MB Core Duo that I want to upgrade from 512mb to 2gb.

The memory labeled as specifically for Mac notebooks, but I'd like to know if there is any reason not to buy such cheap memory.
And of course if anyone has a better suggestion about where to pick up 2 1gb sticks that would be just great.

My guess is that they rebranded their ValueSelect PC2 5300 set with Mac specific packaging so that's definitely a good deal. Since the regular Newegg price for the Mac memory is $179, my guess is Corsair was trying to charge more for the same product because of the Mac packaging, but no one was dumb enough to buy it so Newegg dropped the price. Definitely a great price. I wholly support buying from Newegg, but if you can find Corsair's 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) 2x1GB anywhere else for cheaper, I'd go with it.
