I've read reviews of the companies RAM and it seems of pretty good quality. Is it any good?

It's name brand RAM that is recommended by the PC enthusiast, so I'm sure the quality is great. They also do acknowledge the existence of the Mac in their product line, so I would purchase their components.

It's used by many overclockers in the pc community, who don't mind to pay a premium for RAM whose timing is slightly better. Apart from the fact that the company still don't know (or seem to mind) that GEIL means horny in German, it has a good reputation -- coz horny is good.

Thanks for that. NewEgg Has 2GB of their PC 3200 Dual channel Apple Ram for $197 shipped. Seems to be a pretty good deal.

Geil is great stuff at a good value on the PC side & the Apple series is priced about the same. I may go for some of that myself

On a side note: Kick arse PC RAM isn't necessarily Mac friendly. I have some primo Corsair XMS PC3200 and my G5 won't recognize it, probably because it's CAS 2
