  But a check over at <a href="http://www.ramseeker.com/ibook.shtml"; target="_blank">Ramseeker</a> shows most vendors are selling this module for $179 to about $220. Crucial.com is a quality vendor, and theirs is priced at about $215.
  
  
  
  So don't buy the Kensington. I've never bought from SmallDog, so I can't tell you whether their RAM is quality or not.
  
  
  
  Whatever you buy, make sure it has a lifetime warranty so you can send it back if it doesn't work.

  Thanks, CaseCom: ramseeker.com is a very helpful site.
  
  
  
  Places like Mac Zone and Mac Warehouse were giving me prices in the $350 - $450 range. I guess they overcharge because they can.
  
  
  
  Glad I asked. I'll probably go with Crucial on your recommendation....

  You might want to check dealram.com as well.
  
  They list Micron memory for $205. It's the same as Crucial.

  I've heard Crucial is good too, but I've never bought from them.
  
  
  
  I use <a href="http://www.ramjet.com/"; target="_blank">RamJet</a>. I've bought lots and lots of ram from them before, and it's always worked great. I have read that they also have good tech support if problems arise.

  I like Crucial too. However, for a 512, you might not want to go with them. As I recall (off the top of my head here), the 512 mods Crucial sell have a CL of 2-2-3 (has to do with clock ratios and when data can be written/loaded). That's fine if all the ram in your computer is 2-2-3.
  
  
  
  But, if you have 2-2-2 ram, then installing a 2-2-3 makes all the ram run at 2-2-3 (slower). I think OWC sells 512 2-2-2 ram. They have a good reputation. Their website: <a href="http://www.macsales.com"; target="_blank">http://www.macsales.com</a>;
