    I've always like Crucial, their pricews may not be the cheapest but they're not bad and if you use their system scanner to check what you need and the RAM doesn't fit they will replace it.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Crucial, yes. Kingston ValueRAM is quite good too.

    Personally, I buy from EBuyer, but thats for my home system.
