Powerbook Memory???

[JarinS1]

I am getting a 12" PB, from Apple with the stock 256 RAM. I would like to purchase extra RAM (a 512 stick) from a third party. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The general consensus is crucial.com

There have been multiple discussions on this recently ... see this (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=89829&highlight=Powerbook+memory) and this (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=86495&page=1&pp=25).

I ordered my 512MB PB RAM from OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Directory.cfm?Parent=5&Title=Memory&Template=) and it has worked out fine. I almost stripped one of the small screws installing the RAM, though. So be careful.

With 3 question marks you are asking 3 times, but I'll only answer you once. Crucial is your best bet.

I bought Kingston RAM (http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KTA-PBG4333/512) when I upgraded my 12" PB. Worked well, and the price was Ok too, compared to other brands.
I looked at Crucial RAM too, but everyone was out of stock and ordering directly from Cruical would be much too expensive for me, living outside US. (import tax, vat, etc.).

I am thinking about going with this ram (x2):

Looks like it's $179.99 now. :o

oh boy is that a loaded question.

Crucial is very expensive for 1 gig stick, which is best.

I think that a samsung 1 gig stick for about 319. is best,
but i may change my mind soon! :)
