    Yes, you got it. I use PNY as well. No problem in over a year with a Macbook and D630 of late.

    you can get cheaper ram, just not pny i think.
    Newegg has some OCZ 2gig sticks for $110 each (plus a $15 mail in rebate)
    and free shipping too

    i'd also check frys

    more deals can be found - check out the ram deals thread in the hardware forum.

    There are slightly cheaper out there by Patriot, Geil, Supertalent etc that would save you $20- $40
