    Take a look at Newegg.com

    And brand doesn't really matter, as long as its not unknown. Corsair, Crucial, OCZ are usually highly recommended though.

    That is! I just purchased Corsair RAM... 2GB 2x1GB that cost $59.99... so pretty much the same deal.

    Just ordered mine's...1x2 GB OCZ PC5400 DDR2 667 MHz SODIMM. Since my MacBook isn't Santa Rosa, it won't be able to support 4 GB, so I just ordered one. So with the original 512 MB, I'll have 2.5 GB of RAM. Woot! :D

    Hehe, I did order a pair of Creative EP-630 earbuds yesterday as well, so I guess that's my birthday present :D.

    So my Christmas gift for myself is 2 GB of RAM! :D
