I use Crucial at home and at work. > [...] sure, I agree with all this the only other point I really wanted to make is to be cautious when configuring a computer on the Apple website, where they might say for memory "DDR3 ECC SDRAM" (checked this for a Mac Pro just now) but that is a non-obvious way of, from what I can tell, selling only high end memory when e.g. different CAS latency is available elsewhere - again, not obvious what their CL is (perhaps it is listed somewhere). and maybe other specs apply.
