I read the thread "Powerbook ram-Apple brand ONLY?" and realized that it's complicated to buy memory for powerbooks. Therefore I tried to check how much more expensive it would be if I bought the memory from apple store.
The problem I have is that I just can't find where on the canadian apple store homepage they have the memory uppgrades. It seems to be strange since I have no problems finding it on the US version of the site.

I think once you make an order for a powerbook, you can choose how much memory you want in it.

I would NOT suggest buying the ram from apple. They will overcharge you and the quality won't be any better. What kinfd of powerbook do you have?

No problem ;). I don't know how much you are looking for, but I would go for the DDR 2700 if I were you.

If you want to save money and get excellent memory check out www.crucial.com. I got a 512MB strip from them for my iBook, and I am extremely happy. Great company.

BTW......this is the third thread in the last five minutes I have responded to about buying RAM. hehe:D

Duff-Man says....There are lots of really places to buy ram - just make sure you buy from a place that *guarantees* that it works for your computer so that if by chance you do have a problem you can get a replacement. I have bought from Other World before and they are very very good. Crucial is very reputable too, as is Trans Intl (http://www.transintl.com/) . If you'd rather not deal with cross-border shipping, customs and all that, have a look at Canada Ram (http://www.canadaram.com/) or Mostly Mac (http://www.mostlymac.com/) (the web prices are not always that good but if you call them they will match or beat any price usually....and they are great to deal with.......oh yeah!
