I would like to get everyones feeling on this. I am planning on adding memory to both of my Macs. A lot of times I see that it says "Apple Certified" or "Will work on Apple Computers". Several techs I talked to told me that Macs can sometimes be fussy with their memory and and if it's not tested and certified to work on a Mac you could have issues down the road. Other people tell me that as long as the speed is correct it's fine.
I am looking for technical reasons why the memory needs to be "Apple Certified" or not. On a side note, several friends added NON-Apple certified memory to their Macbook Pros and did have some Kernel Panics afterwards. When they switched to Apple Certified memory the problems went away. Coincidence, or is there some truth behind the whole Apple Certified memory issue? Thanks.
