There is no difference between mac ram and pc ram, they all work on the same form factor. As long as you buy a decent brand ram you should be fine.

Anywhere youre comfortable buying PC RAM, because they work the same.

Just dont buy generic ram, thats bad for everyone.

That is totally wrong. If you don't use a ram that is approved by Apple, your mac will not start. Yes, it is the same ram, but it has to match with something. I'm not sure what. Maybe its the timings?

Just type in the word: "VIKING RAM" in google or something.

Actually, that's not always true. Some of the older Macs (like my old PowerMac 4400 clone) required special RAM, but the newer ones (like my current G4) can take any PC100 RAM.

same with my friends G3, it will run any PC SDRAM that is his speed (not sure what mhz though)

Nope. Being the owner for not one but two different Macs (one laptop, one desktop) and having upgraded the RAM in both myself, I can tell you with 100% assurance that any RAM that works in a PC works in a Mac, with all the same sort of advantages and restrictions (ie. dual channel pairs, etc.).
