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. Nels |

I've had one good experience with datamem. And a friend of mine who is a mac fix-it around here recomends them.
This time I bought Ramjet (a few days ago) because their 512 module for powerbook Al. was pretty cheap ($99). I did get a pair of hard crashes last night, the 3rd day I had the RAM (machine didn't awake from sleep, then I force-restarted and it gave me a shade of death on login) but after an fsck all problems are solved and I have no idea whether it had to do with the new RAM, or just a coincidence.
