I just purchased a new 1.5G 15" powerbook with one 512k RAM module. I want to purchase a second 512k RAM module from a third party. Which brand is best? I have heard Kingston, Crucial, and OWC mentioned.

Those are good, maybe Crucial at top, but I have bought 1 GB RAM for my previous PowerBook Pismo from OWC, all OK. My actual 17" PB has only 512MB RAM because the transcend 512 MB module is bad
