[MacDV] iMovie 3 unexpectedly quitting

[Shirley Kehr]

I would suggest that you are playing at the edge to use iMovie and OS X
with only 256 MB of memory. I just added memory to my 17" iMac this
morning, even though I have no plans to use it for movies. I can tell
you where NOT to get memory. 

I paid $150 for the 512 DIMM at Crucial. Other World Computing and Coast
to Coast both had the same thing for under $80. I've heard that Crucial
is a little more expensive, but I didn't expect it to be double that of
others.
