Hi guys and gals,

The general consensus on this here forum is that Ramjet and Crusial.com have the best success rate with their ram modules. Was wondering though, if anyone has ever tried http://macramdirect.com/powerbook.html ....They have a life time warranty and seemingly deal mostly with Mac.

Some folks on this forum have had bad experiences with Omni Ram, but there's no mention of Mac Ram Direct. Wanna get the best ram for my Alum. Powerbook G4 / 1.25Ghz, but I think that the AppleStore price is absolutely outrageous.

I recently purchased 1GB of Corsair Ram at Microcenter, which I've read has high praise, but as it turns out, is not tested for Macs. Sure enough, did not work, so now I'm at a stand still and a bit wary.

Any input would be greatly appreciated and most helpful.

Thanks fellas!

Apparently, Samsung ram is what's originally installed in our Alum. Powerbook G4s. ...So, would that be the safe bet?

Man, seems there's an infinite market of ram sellers out there. ...And most have the lifetime warranty, so who do you trust?

Of course, I'd rather pay $259 or $289(with warranty) for a gig of ram. Especially, since from what I've researched, folks have been having just as bad of success even after paying the $359++++ prices. ....And on average, we're talking about $70 - $100 in savings. I could actually max out my Powerbooks memory at those lower prices.

Oh well, I'll wait for a bit to hopefully read what some more of you might suggest.

Thanks again, everybody. rolleyes.gif
