RAM Manufacturer Opinions

HI everyone. Looking for some advice on places to buy RAM for my Mac Pro. Looks like most places that have been recommended by people on the forums are charging around $400 for 2GB (2x1GB) of RAM. Manufacturers I'm talking about are newegg, transintl, macsales, 4allmemory, etc. I've found a few that are a little cheaper and was wondering if anyone had any experiences with them. Memory to go and power line memory both are a bit cheaper with memory to go selling for about $366 and Power Line Memory selling for $338. I believe I've seen members saying that they've had good experience with the memory to go modules. Has anyone used the Power Line Memory modules? A link to the product is:

Also, any other opinions are more than appreciated. I'm certainly not averse to paying the extra $40-$70 for something that I know will provide good results but if either of these prove to be good choices, then I'm also not averse to saving a little chaching!

Thanks.

These is a limit on how much Ram Photoshop or Bridge can use. The advantage of more Ram is for Bridge, for the background applications, and for the OS and Finder. So you may not notice the difference in PS itself, but your total computing environment will improve.

hey Hatter.

questions arise from that. i know it is not possible for the app to allocate more than 3GB of RAM, but why - oh - why am i still paging?

yes, Bridge, the overall environment, seems to run smoother under load. testing the thing right now with over 2100 shots from a Judo Tournament today

nifty. hope it doesn't quit again.
