[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 395369, member: 24160"] What Kash said. The only way to know what RAM you are getting is to either buy direct from the manufacturer or a dealer like newegg. And over and above that, this Ram purchased from the 3rd party supplier is from one of the top manufacturers of RAM. On the other hand, buy from Apple and you have no idea which company actually manufactured the RAM, nor will you have available to you the specs of the RAM you are getting. The one rule I personally have for purchasing RAM - the manufacturer and the specs must be identified, including voltage requirements and particularly the timing. If the distributor is not willing to post this info, then they are purchasing RAM from whomever has it the for the cheapest price at any given point in time. There "IS" a reason for a seller not disclosing this info. [/QUOTE]
