Any gskill or corsair or basically anything from owc would be fine.

all RAM is basically the same, there's really only two or three manufacturers - Samsung and Micron or something and maybe someone else. the difference between cheap RAM and expensive RAM is how much testing is done before it's put on sale...but that isn't to say cheap RAM fails frequently, just less infrequently than expensive RAM.

buy the cheapest RAM you can find. it'll probably be Kingston, G.Skill, or SuperTalent...but those are all brand names anyway. and don't bother buying "Apple" or "Mac" memory, it's just normal memory with a price markup.

I agree with toxic

Remember ram memory (or flash, or...) is a commodity item. Todays market is so competitive that it's all good for the most part. Any brand can suffer a bad batch. So go with the sage advice of toxic and you will be happy.

Cheers...

I managed to get Mushkin 8GB for $70 last month. NCIX usually has good deals on SODIMM memory.
