I found a good deal on Kingston 3200 DDR chips. Are there certain brands I should avoid putting in my G5? Any bad experiences with Kingston? (I have Crucial in there now, but its a lot more $). Thanks!

I have 2 sticks of apple ram, 2 sticks of kinstone value ram, and 2 sticks of micron (out of a dell) in my dual 2.5, no problems at all


the non apple ram is ebay bought, ram is ram, just keep the specs the same

I went with all Crucial, and am trying to sell off my Apple provided 2X256MB RAM... I paid about $99 ea for all 8 512's and they've been completely trouble free. Their customer service is superb too.
