The company that took over the MacMemory support is SICLONE.

They are based in California somwhere... They may still be
supporting the MacMemory boards...

Alternativly you could go to a component level repairman of
which there are many around who would fix your board for
a fraction of the price the Apple Tech would.

Around here in Portland OR you can have a Mac repaired with an
accelrrator for about $40 plus parts.  (I just had three done with
bad Power supplies and cost me $75 for the lot!)

 Hope that helps...
