[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1541611, member: 131855"] There are other vendors that can sell you the right memory for your Mac. Even some of the large mail order vendors that sell more PC parts than Mac parts may have what you need. When my Mac Pro was running I purchased a few gig of memory form one of those outfits and had no problems but that's not always the case. When I made my purchase it helped that I knew what spec the memory had to be and also knew that the Mac Pro 1.1 needed fully buffered memory. Fortunately I got a PC guy who was also somewhat knowledgeable about Macs. That's often not the case which is why so many members recommend OWC and Crucial. They know their Macs. No matter where you purchase the memory find out the length of the warranty. Also ask whether there is a "restocking" fee. There are some companies that charge this fee for any items returned unless its actually defective. In other words, order the wrong memory you pay the fee. [/QUOTE]
