That's what I've always assumed. When I swapped out the original 2x1GB RAM modules in my 2008 MB to replace them with 2x2GB ones, the RAM which came with the MacBook seemed pretty much generic RAM to me. But I'll be watching to see what other replies you get to your question. FWIW, if you have no problem with your RAM during the 3 year AppleCare period, then I wouldn't expect it to fail during the useful lifetime of your Mac. I don't believe RAM wears out from use. Or at least not in any way that matters to a typical user. A "lifetime" warranty is a nice selling point, but, of course, I figure it also depends on who is offering the warranty. That's really the primary reason why I now tend to buy only RAM that comes from a company which I have more confidence will continue to be around to honor the warranty during that lifetime of use. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
