Nah, if you take it to a decent Apple service center, we won't make you take out third party RAM. (if anyone in the Bay Area has a warranty Mac problem, let me know...)

Although I would not cast doubt on your experiences, I don't trust Macintouch farther than I can throw Ric Ford. That site tends to be extremeley alarmist, blowing even a single report of a problem into a "THIS IS SO CRITICAL AN ISSUE, APPLE JUST MIGHT GO DOWN BECAUSE OF IT" type of emergency.

I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!
