For those of you who have just upgraded your ram have you been having problems with it being recognised?

I read somewhere there is some kind of conflict between some modules and 10.3.5 even though the ram is fine.

I have a 256mb apple stick and a 1gb stick of kingmax and I haven't had any problems since installing it. I think I actually upgraded to 10.3.5 right after I got the ram... within 24hrs.

I've tried 2 sticks of kingston ram in my powerbook and they both hang at various times.

KingMax 1GB & 10.3.5. No problems. Might be a bit warmer, but that's about it.

So whats the deal. I bought Kingston ram because I didn't want to have any problems with generic ram (which I've had in the past). Who do you guys recommend buying from for good ram? And why are 15" powerbooks having so many problems with ram?
