$750 is what Apple wants for 4GB. Seems really steep, especially compared to 219 less 50 rebate for memory that has the same specs--or so OWC says.

Correction: $750 is what Apple wants for 2 GB. Remember, it comes with 2 already. That price is just to UPGRADE it to 4 GB.

Hmm, makes this deal look even better, don't it!

Crucial.com is currently running at $300 for 4 GB, so yes, this is a good deal. I've only ever bought from crucial myself, but I hear good things about OWC, so I'm sure it's fine.

OWC is completely trustworthy. I puchase from them quite a bit. Great customer service and I've never had any compatibility issues. Crucial is excellent too, but what a deal!

I had an issue (at least Apple said I did) with my OWC memory in my Titanium G4. The memory was 3 years old. OWC replaced it no questions asked. I have purchased a few drives over the years. Their customer service is excellent. CaptJon
