[QUOTE="peterggg, post: 67571"] Kingston offers two lines of memory: 1) system-specific memory, and 2) generic spec'ed memory. The first is identified with a KTA product code (with the "A" standing for Apple), the second is their Value Ram line and is identified by KVR. I'm looking to buy a single 1GB stick for my 15" 1.25GHz Powerbook. The recommended Kingston product is KTA-PBG4333/1G and retails for LOTS. I believe that the KVR equivalent is KVR333X64SC25/1G (note the "S" for 200pin vs. 184pin - I think) and retails for basically half the KTA chip. Are they essentially the same chip with different branding? Can I buy this KVR without a care in the world? Kingston explains the price difference by saying the KTA is guaranteed compliant and fully refundable but it would be nice for someone here to assure compliance of the KVR so we could all save a few bucks. Thanks, Peter [/QUOTE]
