A lot of people had to pull the ram out and throw it away (or try to dump it on eBay). I try to stick to name brand ram, like Crucial. Their prices are reasonable even from their own web site, so you are sure you are getting the real deal. Having said that, I have cheap ram in my current Mac that was bundled in the purchase price of the system. I haven't had any problems at all as far as I know. </DIV></BODY></HTML>
