Here's a picture that at least highlights, if not proves my point. An original mid-prodcution 128K logicboard with Apple branded RAM chips. Two of them had to be replaced last year according to the seller. Notice, he's wisely replaced them with sockets. But I have a stack of failed 128K boards all with Apple-branded, Sad Mac RAM error codes in need of replacement. Yet I have never seen a third party OEM RAM chip that's failed. Could just be my experience but I think it is more than coincidence. Apple must have gotten quite the deal on some really cheaply made RAM, allowing them to make even more money on the already overpriced 128K (thank you John Sculley).
