Apple hardware seems to be far more sensitive to memory than anything else. I bought a 512Mb stick of memory for my Mac Mini, and it just beeped three times on boot. The same memory passed every memory test I ran on a PC, and is still working quite happily in a PC. That memory had the same specification as given by Apple, but just didn't work. I just ordered from Crucial, and it worked straight away. As for PC133 memory, memory from Kingston and Crucial have worked just fine in my iBook. Just recently I bought some "Samsung" memory taken from a Toshiba I think, and that just worked fine too. I think because it's almost a matter of luck if the memory will work on not in an Apple, people say it doesn't, just to avoid the hassle. If the memory is cheap enough, take a gamble, and just resell it if it doesn't work. If it's near Crucial/Kingston prices, you're best sticking with them.
