I'd say so. I don't know anyone here (there may be, but I don't know) who has bought their RAM from Apple. They might've, once. ONCE. Before they knew better. Even Macworld magazine, in a recent review (of the iMac G5, I believe) says to buy RAM through a quality, third-party outfit as opposed to Apple.

Get it from crucial.com. Everyone here seems to. And $190 is nothing to sneeze at. That's money in your pocket. Or money to buy a sleeve or bag for your iBook. Or an external hard drive. Or a mouse and keyboard set up. Or an iSight. Tons of stuff you might eventually want or need...
