According to DealRam.com, Omni Technologies has the cheapest Powerbook RAM I've ever seen. At $163.99 for 1GB, that's less than half of Crucial's or Apple's price. I think I might buy 2, but the site looks like it was done by a 12 year old.

Has anyone bought from them before? Is everyone pleased with their 3rd Party RAM?

These Omni Guys also blow all of Macprices.com (Crucial, Edge, Kingston) RAM prices out of the water as well.

I just received two 1 GB sticks of Crucial ram from Newegg.com yesterday. Cost me $93.00 each. Unfortunately the day before they got here my lower slot went belly up. So I'm off to the Apple store tonight to drop my book off for repair and then I'll install them.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Purchased my 1 GB stick for $130 from OWC. There are plenty of other vendors selling in this price range, too (like newegg). Shop around.

I purchased 2x1GB DDR2-667 from OmniTechnologies.biz about a month ago. I paid $89 per stick for a total of ~$190 after shipping.
The company seems to be a smaller business, perhaps a distributor of sorts. I dealt with them many times on the phone due to my insecurities about their business being legitimate.
Of the first two sticks to arrive, both were Samsung branded memory and one stick was dead. I called for an RMA and after sending back the bad stick, I received a non-Samsung memory stick. Although the new stick functioned, it caused my memory to run at 533MHz. I called Omni Technologies back and they issued another RMA and I specified that I needed Samsung memory to match my other stick. They were helpful and issued me the final stick, which I am using with my first stick for 2GB @ 667MHz in my 20" iMac.
If you don't mind waiting for relatively slow shipping, and not having the luxury of advance replacement of parts, then I do recommend Omni Technologies as their prices seem to be very competitive (although the prices have increased a good bit since I purchased). Their customer service doesn't wait on you hand and foot, but they staff their telephone number for at least 12 hours each day, and will answer questions about the status of your order.
Edit: Thought I'd mention I have 512MB DDR2-667 Apple RAM for sale for $50+shipping.

This thread was started over 1 YEAR ago, and "flyhigh37" decided to resurrect it.
Why I'll never know.
