Crucial.
If no budget constraint then get 2 sticks of 2GB memory (assuming you're planning to move to Windows Vista's 64 bit version in the future).
Otherwise 1 additional stick of 2GB module will do at this moment.

$115 each is a great price. i've used micron (crucial) memory for decades with an unblemished track record and wouldn't recommend any other brand.
if you're going to use 32-bit windows then just get one module for now and add another later if you go to vista x64.

You can get 4 GB of Mushkin PC5300 laptop ram from newegg for $190 with free shipping:

It has been working flawlessly in my T61p, mostly using OpenSuse 10.3 though.
