*Normally* Mac memory is ECC, which is what usually adds to the
expense. This isn't always the case from third party suppliers.
But (c) is always a factor.
That said, I've always thought Crucial had good prices.
Actually, you wish to double check on what machines accept ECC memory
and whether a given vendor selling memory for Apple machines is
selling ECC memory. Normally Mac memory is *NOT* ECC, in the past
PC memory was ECC, but only recently did any Apple machines accept
ECC memory, the first was the Xserves and then the G5 Towers. I
don't know about the Intel-macs.
