I've been searching the interwebs and Best Buys and Frys Electronics in search for 4GB of DDR3 Ram, an upgrade of my current 2GB RAM...

The lowest price im finding is $85-ish and wanted to see if this was the typical price before I made a purchase.

Maybe I just haven't faced that price yet considering with my old MacBook for 4GB of DDR2 RAM it was under $30....:eek:
 
I just bought 4GB of DDR2 (2x2GB) for $97CAD so...

a) Yup, that's a pretty good price for DDR3
b) Where the %@$! did you find 4GB of DDR2 for under $30??

I'll sell you 4gb of pny ddr3 ram for 73 shipped

Sent laptop to apple and removed my ram before shipping it, they sent MacBook back upgraded to 4gb
 
I usually trust Newegg to be a good feeler for market prices. You can usually find a bit cheaper, but I like Newegg's good customer service and easy returns. That being said, they currently have 4GB of PNY for $99.99 and free shipping.

That's the cheapest for a "name brand."

So in answer to your question, yeah, $85 is a good price IF it is a reputable name. My advice is always to avoid cheap memory like the plague...
