I'm getting 2GB for my PowerBook for only $220...
I guess we're gonna bump our new 15" PowerBook to 768 and hope that by the time I really want more memory prices will have dropped.

I was shocked at the $200 1 GB price, versus the $60 price for a 512 MB module.

Where are you getting $200 for a 1GB module? I'm getting 1GB for $110! All you need is 200 pin soDIMM.

Crucial. I haven't looked at ramseeker or other memory sites to find the best deals though.

I wouldn't bother with Crucial, they claim their memory will work in your system, but as long as you get the right kind of memory it should work in your system just fine.

Total cost was about $60.
I just bought one additional gig for my PB from crucial and noticed, that it is cheaper to directly chose the RAM type needed and not to use the advisor tool.

What is the spec to look for? I've heard not all memory will work together in a powerbook (like some that came from apple with some that didn't). Don't remember if it was related to timing or latency or something else. Any truth to that?
