[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 421933"] [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]I don't go for the cheaper brands exactly to avoid what you are experiencing at the moment. Not that more expensive brands are immune to bad sticks but at least you don't have any problems getting an exchange and they do carry hassle-free lifetime warranties on their sticks. Besides, the returns must be less frequent because of the quality control. I like OWC because I have dealt with them in the past and they are a pleasure to deal with. For example, [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/4200DDR2M2GB/"][B]2GB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz DIMM[/B][/URL]. Yes you saw that right: a 2 GB stick for your iMac model (and mine! w00t!!!) for $109.99! Not too shabby. As soon as I can afford it, I'm planning on upgrading my RAM to 2.5 GB instead of the current 1.5 GB. There are other online stores. Just look for either Kingston, Samsung, Crucial or Apple certified. Maybe Micron (I think this is the brand that ships in Intel-Macs nowadays? Maybe it's only Intel compatible? I dunno...)
