Any problem with 3rd party RAM?

[seasurfer]

I know many people have used 3rd party RAMs.

Has anyone experienced any kind of problems or glitches?

Some people say that there is increase incidents of beach ball? I am thinking if I should get the original Apple RAM....

Apple doesn't have their "own" RAM... from what I remember, they actually use Samsung (and possibly other brands) RAM as "their own." If you buy from a reputable third party, such as Crucial or OWC, you will be fine! Apple's is more expensive anyway. You won't get more beachballs from good third party RAM, don't worry...

In fact, to make it easier, Crucial even has a selector where you pick your Mac model, and the site shows you the correct RAM for your machine

I’ve bought RAM from OWC several times and never had a problem. Saved a bundle compared to what Apple charges.

G.SKILL works

I have 4x4G G.SKILL purchased from NewEgg. It is working very well. [Edit: This memory turned out to not work. After several days, the OS became unstable with shutdowns. I returned it and now use Samsung from OWC.]

Can anyone tell me if this ram NuRAM PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM 204 Pin from OWC is any good for the new iMac?
They had this one and I believe another brand to chose from but this one is a bit cheaper so I`m just wondering if there are any problems with NuRAM memory.
