[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1935143, member: 175845"] You don't say which RAM module is kaput, or what you consider "cheap", but why not ask the supplier that you are planning to use to replace the memory chip. I would be inclined to go along with Apple's Engineering Developers who seem to have specked heat sinks being used with the memory chips with those Mac models, but you can always add third party Heat Sinks along with some thermal paste if needed I would think. Memory modules like to be kept reasonably cool to work properly and reliably and last for a decent amount of time. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
