I just bought a 256mb ram stick for a Graphite Clamshell from www.ramdirect.com. They had the easiest site for determining model suitability; bought it, and was delivered in two days, well padded and boxed. Had a question for them later and received a well reasoned email from them the same day. They're bookmarked here for any later purchases. Good luck.

are all sites that sell, guaranteed for life, memory for the Mac.

All have a memory "configurator", just follow the easy steps and you will arrive at the page detailing the correct memory for your machine.

Prices obviously vary between suppliers.

With the exception of 4allmemory and memory2go, I have purchased memory from all of the above suppliers.
On the only occasion that a RAM stick went bad, they do that sometimes, I had a replacement in hand the following day. (That was Crucial)

Given the huge variety of machines if I don't have a stick handy on the shelf to test with I head to crucial to get it on order. While some may rail against this in search of lower costs I find the time lost trying generic RAM that didn't work to cost too much.

I've had my better luck there. In the mid 1990's I ordered all of my RAM from thechipmerchant.com - I'm not sure about them any more.
