Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: Upgrading to Logic 7 from Logic Plat 6.4.3

Apple obviously goes to great pains to verify
their RAM - But they also use RAM as a Money Maker.
They try to price their basic boxes with minimal RAM
as cheap as they can.  But they are out to make a profit -
so part of the RAM high price is also profit.  I have used
Crucial Ram (2X1GB) in my 2X2G5 now for 4 months
(6GB total)  and have had no problems.  And yes - it is
less than Apple supplied RAM.

	I am not sure what the answer is here.  But I do know
that the Apple dual g5's do push the limits of Ram sticks!
