I too can recommend RamDirect. I have ordered from them three times and have had no trouble.

But, Amber, I don't know how much RAM your Powerbook already has, but in your situation I would try to make sure that RAM was the problem (although you can never have too much RAM!).

When you say,
it has been grinding to a halt for some processing that is normally quite minor
I would want to find out what has changed. Unless you have upgraded the system or or using it differently (more open programs, etc.) the performance shouldn't change.

Do you know about the Activity Monitor utility (in Applications/ Utilities/). It will show you what processes are running on your Mac and what proportion of the CPU time is being used by each one. It might give you a clue as to what is slowing the machine down.

Cheers,
Simon

I gave up on Canadian retailers for mac RAM.

The 2 places I would recommend are Ram Direct ( http:// www.ramdirect.com/ ) and Other World Computing ( http:// www.otherworldcomputing.com/ ).

I have used Ram Direct but not OWC. I have read good things about them (OWC) from other list members, I have personal experience with Ram Direct. Otherwise not knowing where you live in Canada I couldn't point you in the direction of a retailer that you could purchase from.

HTH,

I have been having a lot of trouble with my PB recently in that it has been grinding to a halt for some processing that is normally quite minor.

I have decided to put some more RAM in to see if that makes any difference - can anybody recommend any good Canadian RAM retailers ?
