I'm getting a 15" MacBook Pro this Tuesday and I was wondering... What is the best deal on 2x2GB DDR2 RAM out there right now? I see it for $100 on OWC right now, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any better deals or if I'm just missing something?

NOTE: Obviously, it needs to be MacBook Pro compatible.
 
stay away from kingston, i have 4 dead sticks of kingston value ram in a box that im not sure why i keep

OCZ Is a very good company. I personally havent used it on my MPB yet, but I have been building PCs for a couple years now (Recent MAC convert) and have always used either OCZ or GSkill RAM. They're extremely reliable; a PC I built in 2003 using OCZ RAM is still running like a champ (Running Vista and OSX Hackintosh dual boot).
 
Newegg looks like the best deal right now. The reviews are good as well. Thanks to all who replied. One more day!
 
I purchased this last week and it's been working pretty well....

It comes with an apple sticker on the box, they're supposed to be 100% compatible. I have no complains YET

I just (literally 5 minutes ago) upgraded to 4GB of Crucial RAM. My only complaint is that they (Crucial.com) sat on the order for a few days before processing it. I ordered on 5/23, order sat until 5/26, received order today (5/30). The installation was as smooth as silk, taking no more than a few minutes.
 
I've been building PC's for many years. I agree Crucial has been the most reliable for me, but I've been impressed lately by RAM from OWC.

I also agree...Kingston has been the least reliable of any brand I've tried.
