OWC(macsales) has 2x2GB kits (4GB total) for 159 + shipping
I bought 4GB from newegg.com for 127 shipped...
I'm very happy with the ram mentioned in this thread:

And now it's only $60 after rebate!! I paid $98 for that very SKU from that same store not even a month ago.

Can you buy 2 of those so you can upgrade to 4 GB, or do you have to buy a paired kit of 2 x 2 GB to do that?
If you can, that's a great deal.
Be careful to read the fine print on rebates. Often, there's a "one item per household" restriction. If you buy two identical items, you might be eligible for only one rebate.

I bought two, they were the same module, and the 4GB works fine... I ran memtest86+ and memtest on them for days without any errors.
Even if you can claim only one rebate, its still a good deal as Corsair is generally well regarded memory.
http://www.dealram.com is a good place to get a feel for what memory is costing these days.
The mushkin.com online store has some good prices at the moment -- slightly cheaper than newegg:
1 x 2GB "Mushkin Value Memory" @ $72 per stick
1 x 2GB "Perfectmatch for Apple" @ $81 per stick
Flat-rate US-snail first class @ $3 per order
...and no mail-in-rebate foolishness!

Says they are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Good eye. Muskin makes good stuff. I opted for some PQI on newegg @ 59/stick.. lifetime warranty. I hope it's not poo for memory. Good thing I have 30 days to figure that out. (126.xx shipped for 4GB)
wow! your newegg order seems to be the cheapest. care to share the link? I couldn't find something that cheap there. TIA
Thanks! no need to fear then.
still looking for the best deal. I won't get my new iMac for a couple of weeks so I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger on the RAM since it keeps dropping.
