[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1378144, member: 24098"] What? Why? Memory is memory. There is no need to pull it out of a Windows machine. Just buy it from a reputable third party like Crucial or OWC. Modern Macs use the same commodity x86 hardware as Windows machines. There is no difference. So, you can purchase memory from anyone that you'd like. Most vendors do charge a premium for memory, particularly when you're adding it to a new system. And going back to the vendor for memory is kind of silly as there is always a premium for OEM parts, whether it's Apple, Dell, HP, whomever... [/QUOTE]
