I usually buy my memory at OWC and have had good luck for good prices. However, they are only offering 512MB sticks and for what seeems to be too much. I have gone to some other sites to check for memory, but I cannot figure which brands are most reliable. (The PCish sites have forums with guys hot-rodding their homemade motherboards with a smorgasbord of hardware).
Can anyone recommend brands (and places to buy them) for the new PC3200 ram we'll need for these 'shipping' G5's?
PS- I know that there are many places to buy ram- I have seen them. My guess is, though, that I will get better answers here.
Thanks in advance

crucial.com (micron) is very reliable, in fact Apple is one of their customers. Crucial isn't the cheapest, but it's not overly expensive either. Samsung is also used in Apples, you can get it at memoryx.com but it's pricey.
I don't know if either carry G5 ram.......

Any kind of DDR RAM will do. www.newegg.com has the best prices and reliabity, not to mention extremely fast shipping.

This has been covered at least 3 times in the last week, lol, but I'd buy from www.coastmemory.com unless NewEgg currently has lower prices, but typically CoastMem. does.

How about Kingston RAM for the G5? Does anybody have any negative experiences with this brand? I always thought they were good.

Crucial is King 
They have replaced memory modules at no cost to me that usually arrive the very next day.
