Third Party memory comes at 1/3rd the price. Most people have had great success with them. A few DIMM's might have failed in a large batch. Price/performance has me inclined to think that 3rd party memory will work for all the non-critical stuff that we do. * Performance. Doesnt seem to be diff. * Support-> If you have Sun support/warranty on your hardware, you might be asked to remove it before they give you support(or when they try to figure out what's wrong, when something breaks.) * Some of the 3rd party vendors include -> Dataram -> Kingston www.kingston.com -> Crucial www.crucial.com Mike pointed out that the Netra on Sun's site has crucial memory in it. http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/Netra_X1/Netra_X1_top_zoom.html Most people agree that with the extra price that the Sun memory costs, comes almost 100% reliability. Non Sun memory fail very, very occasionally.
