I use Crucial ( http://crucial.com ). Usually pretty cheap and the service is terrific.

Same here. Had no problems with them.

Craigslist. People that have just upgraded their laptop or desktop sell the old RAM for next to nothing. If nothing fits the bill on CL then it's off to Newegg.

I've used Other World Computing ( http://www.macsales.com/ ) for 5-10 RAM purchases over the years. Good prices and I've never had a reliability problem. Mac focused, though RAM is generally RAM.

Bought from them as well for 10 years. Never had a bad stick.

Another thumbs up from OWC. Awesome prices.

Well I'm located in the Bay Area, but you can get 2 GB of Crucial ram for $20 at Frys Electronics.
