What RAM (brand) works best?

I can tell you that I would trust CanadaRAM implicitly....Trevor from CanadaRAM was a regular and extremely helpful poster here for many years before taking a break recently. They are very friendly and really know what they're doing.

I'm assuming all of the other prices you're quoting are in USD, right? I know there's not that much difference in the exchange rate these days, but it does make CanadaRAM seem a bit pricey (compared to my past experience) if everything there is quoted in CAD.

 

Hmm...some PPC Macs are notoriously picky about RAM, which is why I have always purchased from trusted retailers. The Crucial RAM should be okay, but I don't know about the others.

That said, I stay far away from Tiger Direct. They've had a lot of complaints over the years and are rated "unsatisfactory" by the Better Business Bureau. I don't want to have to deal with stuff like that when I'm buying.

 

Crucial RAM is generally good quality, but he's talking about buying it from TigerDirect, which complicates return policies.

And I refuse to patronize Crucial.com due to their shady pricing games.

OWC RAM is very good...I've bought from them for PPC machines several times. They have an excellent reputation on this site. But I don't know anything about their shipping policies to Canada. They do have 1 GB sticks for your iBook for the equivalent of about $155 CAD if you can get them to ship to you.

 

I've always seen it referred to as dynamic pricing, but yes...depending on what browser you're using, what product you're buying the RAM for, and what else you've looked at on their site, they'll give you a different price for the same RAM.
