I'm guessing it doesn't really matter which you get right? I"m going to upgrade to 8GB or Ram and can get kingston from their site for 52 bucks and from crucial's website for 60. Both seem like solid deals.

Any experience with either is appreciated.
 
They're both solid brands. Check the reviews for Mac users' experiences to make sure they're compatible since Macs tend to be picky.
 
Newegg has some great deals running right now

Those are the chepest 1s right now but they have pretty much every brand for under 8gb 50$ right now. You cant go wrong with any name brand like kingston, crucial, gskill, crosair, mushikin, patriot. Just dont spend twice as much on OWC "mac certified" ram because its a waste of around 40 more$. Even the mac certified ram on newegg is cheaper then OWC

I actually looked at the apple store and it was $400 for 8 GB of ram!

No wonder they are so profitable :) :apple:
