Since Apple considers RAM to be a customer installable part-check any of its machine's user manual-your response serves no useful purpose and doesn't help the requestor. My choice of vendors is Chip Merchant <http://www.thechipmerchant.com/>, but they're based here in San Diego, so getting to them isn't any chore for me. However, I've never heard of any problems with their online service or returns under their warranty.
