I'm upgrading the RAM on my 17" 2.16 GHz ICD MBP.
Which is the better buy?
2GB of Crucial Ram for $51.99
or
2GB of OWC Ram for $49.00

Either would be fine.
I've used both brands and have never had a problem with either.
If your really concerned with nickels and dimes, the OWC is cheaper but crucial has free 5-7 day shipping so it comes out about $1.40 cheaper than the OWC in the end (at least to my location).
Either would be a good choice.
Here is an even better deal with free shipping:

plus its a single stick which leaves room for more expansion later.

Ive used them both with no problem... Crucial has a bigger name I think so the few pennies more wouldn't deter me...
