- 1GB sticks of Kingston ram for $69.99 (one per house) - free shipping, damn sales tax for CA.. nevertheless, can anyone tell me if this is very high quality RAM? I had heard that kingston started producing cheaper 'value' ram.. still trying to research if it's their higher line.. but any knowledge would be most appreciated.

What is it going in? The new Intel machines use PC5300 (DDR2 667) RAM.

This is the cheaper Kingston ValueRAM -- look at the part number KVR-xxxx If it were their Apple RAM it would be KTA-xxxxx. It is also the 533 MHz module, which only fits the Powerbook G4 HD screen/DL Superdrive model and no other. And Kingston specifically disclaims any guarantee of Mac compatibility.

Doh.. failed to note the 4200 vs 5300 (good to know now) - still ram shopping for a macbook.... someday I'll find that premium ram, for a premium price..riight - the g.link is looking pretty good at newegg, just I'm a bit concerned of the fact people have only been trying it for <month - so how well will it really hold up (though it does have a lifetime warranty). There are just tooo many damn options...

I recommend that you look at Crucial (premium price), OWC or Data Memory Systems (http://www.datamem.com/apple-memory.asp). That way you get RAM that is guaranteed to be right.

Ditto. Crucial or DataMem are the way to go. I've had great experience with both.
