I am not sure what you are really asking, which is probably why no one has answered you question. That is if it is a question.whitetrashanth said:

I've never heard of that make. You'd have to look at their web site for the warranty.
I would also suggest you check out how much Apple is charging for memory now. They lowered their prices considerably with this last round of updates. To some people, the small difference is worth getting the memory from Apple.

And if not, then get your ram from Other World Computing (OWC). 
I have a Ram question, and I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but with the dual G5s, I thought that in order to take full advantage of it, you needed at least 4GB of RAM. With the quad-core, does this mean you should have your PM at least half filled? That means 8+ GB.

How much RAM you need depends on what you are running. And then again, so does your processing power needs.Abstract said:And if not, then get your ram from Other World Computing (OWC).

If you're getting a Quad, one suggestion is to start with 4 GB (4x1 GB) of memory and then add more if you find you need it for what you are doing.
Yes, but with the "old" dual proc G5 PowerMacs, the 4GB mark was special because of the system being 64-bit or something of the sort. I forget. It was always recommended that you get 4 GB of RAM with those systems to take full advantage of having a dual 64-bit procs. Does that mean that with the "advent" of the dual dual core G5s, the new mark is 8 GBs?
Notice that they now allow 16 GB of RAM to be installed, even if the hardcore Mac users don't even install 8 GB into their systems. I think this may have something to do with the dual dual-core procs, but I was just guessing.
