I've been looking around, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any nice places to get RAM. I'd really like another 128MB for my G4/400/PCI Graphics, but haven't found any places that have jumped out at me as having high quality, inexpensive RAM. Could anyone point me in a direction? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

http://www.crucial.com Very reliable company, is an off-shoot of Micron (the memory and PC manuf). Great prices, warranty, and customer service. Micron makes the memory for many OEMs.

I love deadlines. They make a whooshing sound as they pass by.

www.otherworldcomputing.com Great prices, excellent customer service, lifetime warranty, etc... I've bought a ton of RAM from them with excellent service every time. There's a post on here started a couple weeks ago about them. Every single response to it was more than positive.

hehe, a lot of you probably disagree with me, but I would just go out and buy the cheapest PC-133 module I can find, which is what I recently did. For one, its same price as PC-100, maybe $1 difference, and 2, CL3 PC-133 when clocked to PC-100, it will be CL-2 (2-2-2 speed code), which you won't find in the cheapest PC-100, and lastly it can push slightly more bandwidth from your machine. My memory performance improved by a few percentage points when I replaced PC-100 modules with PC-133s...
As for quality, since RAM won't fry your computer, and is dirt cheap, I don't worry about that very much. However, RAM prices will RISE, as many are pulling out of the market or are reducing production since they can no longer make a profit with such low prices, so get them soon!

Just want to remind everyone of when the last Apple firmware came out and what happened to a lot of the cheap RAM-that RAM didn't show up after installing the new firmware. A lot of PC cheap RAM didn't conform to the Apple spec and many people were stuck with non-working RAM.
You get what you pay for-at least get a good warranty, a place that will guarantee your RAM works, regardless of what updates are performed on your Mac.

I can get 512 megabytes of PC-133 CAS2 (2-2-2) 7.5-nanosecond 168-pin SDRAM for $32. Enough said.

Well, that's today's price. It might be cheaper when you ask. 
I can't disclose the sources right now, as the prices of RAM are very volatile hour-to-hour. An hour later, it might be $33. Big difference, you know.

We have a steady stream of memory being shipped out our back dock to Outpost. I know they have good memory.

I just maxed out my G4 yikes! with a gig of RAM from Other World Computing. Works great, and this slightly old box sure is snappy now! Their RAM prices for the G4/PCI have dropped since I ordered mine, I think down to 24.50 or so. Check dealram.com for prices.
