Warranties and Non-Apple Memory

[Snow White]

When your Apple approved guy looks at it he will test or pull all the 
memory at the beginning.  If it was memory they may not cover the 
repair costs (time) but if it is something else they should.  Everyone 
has memory from somewhere else as Apple is so expensive on RAM.  OSX is 
very picky about its RAM - OS9 was way laxed in comparison.
