I'm looking for a 256MB module. Onvia.ca charges $131 for a 128 MB module but wants $541 for the 256 MB module.
I did notice they sell a PowerBook bronze 256MB module for approx. $250 - will that work in my iBook (SE 466)?
Or if anyone can find a better location to buy, that'd be great.
Thanks.

Ck out ramseeker.com for low prices on ram. I am thinking of going w. either OWC or Datamemory Syst. for 256 mgs of ram.
Prob. will ck out DataMem. since OWC just raised their price...

I might be able to get you one for $250CAD + shipping. It would take about 2 weeks. I'm in Vancouver so no customs, and I'm paypal verified. LMK
[email protected], or call 604-807-9505

There is no (retail) place to get cheap RAM in Canada, if you want to be sure it works with your iBook. Go to US web-sites, whose RAM costs, when you factor in shipping and exchange are still 50% of Apple Reseller prices here. And they have lifetime warranties. If you can't install it yourself, get it done for about $25 by an Apple authorized reseller. Do not, I repeat, do not ever buy Apple RAM or from an Apple specialist. It's a complete rip-off.
Case in point. 256MB for PBg3 - 128US+24 FedEx 2day= 152US or $225 Canadian (no duties, local sales and GST apply - possibly a $5 fee for customs). At a local place,$549CDN, before taxes! Insane.
try these sites: www.transintl.com www.otherworldcomputing.com
I've bought from these before, and they're reliable. BTW, make sure the company does not ship UPS - they have brutal customs charges.

I've just ordered 256 Mb from http://www.transintl.com/ : US $128+ US $29 shipping (FedEx) = US $157. Curious to see the custom charge. Anyway, in Belgium the 256 Mb costs... +/- US $550. Elephant s***t.

WOW! Even with the shipping and Customs it's still half the price of ram up here in Canada (from Macwarehouse).
From OtherWolrdComputing 256 MB for G4
105 + 20(shipping) +10(custom) = 135$US = 200$CAN
From MacWarehouse 256MB for G4
240$US = 370$CAN
