[QUOTE="sentofuno, post: 261199, member: 18348"] i think there are mixed opinions about which ram is compatible but yes, 3rd party does work. i installed 2x 1gb adata sticks the other day. at first it didn't work (not booting, or randomly turning off while running os x) so i googled and found some had problems, others found it worked fine. in the end it works just fine, but after i reseated the ram about 4 times. so the not working was probably down to my fear of crushing the ram into the slot and not pushing it in far enough. i wouldn't draw any conclusions from this, other than do try a reseat if it doesn't work at first.
