RAM Suggestions
I will be purchasing some RAM for my 12" 867Mhz Powerbook. I need 512mb of PC2100 DDR RAM/SO-DIMM 266, 200 Pin, to replace the current 128mb stick already in the machine.
1.) What are the best types of RAM?
2.) Should I go with the generic RAM, or should I go with a name brand?
3.) Post any good links for purchasing RAM.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

I usually get my RAM from Mac Solutions or Other World Computing.
if you can afford it, i'd recommend sticking with Name Brand RAM
i've read anecdotal comparisons of Apple RAM vs Discount RAM in TiBook Benchmarks, and there were claims of more oomph from the premium stuff.
Has anyone had trouble with OWC?
Another good choice is Kingston ValueRAM from NewEgg.com. Because RAM is interchangeable between PCs and Macs, you can buy it from discount PC outlets, not just Mac places. NewEgg.com is one of the best PC shops. Always good service and fast shipping.
and I have heard horror stories about 18004Memory but I have to agree with locash/jack that from my personal experience their ram works great... I bought a 512 PC133 and 2 PC66 256 SO-Dimms (Rev A iMac and iBook) and 4Megs of video ram for the iMac... all work great...
