Crucial.com. Hands down, the easiest to choose (they do it for you), and they're cheap, and I've had no trouble with RAM coming from them.

Here's a compatible 4GB kit from crucial (same one I installed).

I had 2 batches of non-working RAM from Crucial for my Unibody up to now, still waiting on them to send me something non-compatible. 🙁

Apple did something funky with the unibody MB ram which is causing lots of 3rd party ram (even trusted companies like OWC and Crucial) to not work. Personally, I had installed a 4gb kit from Crucial and noticed a lot of odd behavior which I narrowed down to the ram. they let me return it for a refund and acknowledged the issue with unibody macbooks and their ram.

I've only had 1 issue up to date with Crucial RAM, but it's been the same for both batches. Waking up from sleep just doesn't work. Kinda of a show stopper.

I'll try OWC next and if that doesn't work, i'll just wait for Apple ram upgrades to get cheaper I guess.

I've had no issues with my Crucial RAM both on my UMB and my Mini. They both have been working just fine.

Have 2 sticks from OWC and no problems here.

Crucial has been good to me, but it sounds like you might want to wait a tad until they get their manufacturing straightened out. Maybe a month should do it?
