Time to upgrade Chiana's brain!

[hellziggy]

I currently only have 512MB of RAM in Chiana. Next semester I am taking Advanced Photoshop. I'm thinking I need more RAM!!!
She has two memory slots, each with 256MB right now. I can either get 2 512MB for a total of 1GB, or what I will most likely do is bring her up to her maximum with 2 1GB for a total of 2GB.

So what I need is advice from any of you mac types out there. I was talking to AppleStore Scott briefly after Serenity and I remember that he said Crucial is good. I thought he had mentioned another brand but I don't remember what... Going with memory from the Apple Store is definitely NOT an option! Two 1GB memory cards would be $1000!!
On the Crucial web site I can get two 1GB for $369. Scott said he would help me figure out what to get if I see him during CONvergence. All I know is that Chiana wants a faster brain! She's tired of waiting for Photoshop.

Check with Monte(Mr. Windy). He is the brain I pick at when I need advice.

I thought I had talked to you about this before, but here it is again. http://www.dealmac.com is in general a good site for Mac gear deals. They are affiliated with http://www.dealram.com.

You had told me, but I didn't remember any names. The money is actually there for it now though!
