Crucial Technology (www.crucial.com) is pretty good. Right now, you can get a 512MB module for a Pismo for $186.69 with free shipping. As for quality, I used to run a lab of 30 G3s at a university, all of which I upgraded with RAM from Crucial, and we never had any problems with it in the year that I continued to work there.
I just did a google search for "powerbook memory" and turned up a few places that have it for much cheaper. Though I've never dealt with them, Ramjet (www.ramjet.com) is one that sounds familiar to me as a reputable name, and they've got Pismo 512MB modules for $149 plus $9 shipping. Now, about the dilemma. I don't know how current this information is, but everymac says the beige G3 300 is worth $650-$750: http://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g3/stats/powermac_g3_300_mt.html Personally, I think I'd go with the G3 now, and get the pismo RAM later. But I don't know how urgent your RAM needs are.
