As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the top brands.  There are a 
couple that might be better, but they target the PC Overclocker 
market, and don't sell Mac RAM.

Realistically, I don't think there is any real difference between 
KVR400X64C3AK2/2G and KTA-G5400/2G, although the one is sold as 
"Value RAM" and the other as a "Mac G5 Specific" kit.
