Depending on how much of a risk you want to take, you can get varying prices for RAM. Try looking around www.ramseeker.com (http://www.ramseeker.com). People on the forums here steered me away from sites like 18004Memory.com, even though at this very second, a 1GB stick is $245 from them. Crucial, on the otherhand, is selling gig sticks for $479.99... It's really about how much you want to risk. OS X is picky with RAM and if you order from some sites, they might send you bad RAM and/or have a crappy (or nonexistent) warranty program. Be wise when shopping for RAM and have fun maxing out your 12", that will be a sweet machine.

I would check DealRam (http://www.dealram.com). When I was looking for memory for my 15" I checked that site and it showed a very wide price difference. In the long run I thought it better to go with a reputable company (OWC) (http://www.owcomputing.com) and pay a little more than deal with headaches later.
Well I immediately had problems and after installing the chips so I called their tech support line. They determined that one of the chips I got was bad and they overnighted me a new chip no questions asked!
I have dealt with Other World on many occasions and have been 100% satisfied with their customer service, quality, and price. Oh ya, and I talked to someone who spoke english and I was on hold for a maximum of 2-3 minutes.
just my $.02

I found this link (http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4158153) in another thread. It's for a 1 gig stick for PB's from Fry's for $159. If you're willing to try it, I would be curious to how well it works.
