Hi Kristopher,
I got some ram from this place called crucial on the advice of the folks over at the sonikmatter logic forum.It was around $200 for 1GB for my dual g5.It seems to work fine.

The RAM that I trust the most is either crucial or kingston RAM. I have never had an issue with compatibility with those brands. As for places to buy them...check out newegg.com they normally have the best deals in the industry.

I agree with both Crucial and Kingston as well. I haven't priced out Kingston in a while, but Crucial RAM is dirt cheap.

I'll agree as well with the above: Crucial but also wanna mention Mushkin - http://www.mushkin.com/epages/mushkin.storefront. They both have nice prices via web, ship real FAST, and when I have had to speak with either of them via phone they have both been friendly and helpful.

newegg is a great company as well but both crucial and mushkin have websites where you can direct order.

These are the kinds of companies that deserve business.

The last ram I bought was OCZ, works fine, haven't overclocked it. I'm getting another stick of it soon. Check out newegg for excellent service:

While I wasn't the one looking for RAM, I would like to thank everyone for the links. It's nice to have choices!

I'll second that. Mushkin is the only place I've purchased RAM upgrades from in this century. No problems yet (and there were plenty before I found Mushkin).

If you have a mac Other World Computing is great for price, compatibility and customer service. They guarantee their ram for life. www.macsales.com
