[quote OWC Larry]We're not as cheap as the cheapest on that link... but our top notch stuff, guaranteed matched and right for Mac and not overclocked is about $12.50 more per module than the cheapest... about $50 more for 4 sticks that will work and are backed with no hassles.

[quote Joey Cupcakes]Thanks Elmo, but Corsair is hardly a "no name" brand, and I've had problems in the past with Kingston's bargain-line label. The only question for me is whether Corsair's "value" line might have similar problems.
If good-normal pricing weren't an issue, I'd buy OWC anyway, but we're talking about savings of $100 for 4 sticks.
Yeah, I see that, Larry... The price has actually come down a bit recently, and for that difference you're absolutely right. I've used OWC RAM most of the time since I had an PPC8500 and always steer my clients to you. Guess I should follow my own advice!
The real reason I'm tempted to cheap out a bit is because my G5 is fully populated with 512MB sticks, and to upgrade I not only have to buy the 1GB sticks but get little value back on the RAM I'm removing to make room for them.
