If I had to toss out a flying guess, I'd wager that was due to pressure from Apple. Apple buys memory from Crucial. They probably got told "knock that off or we will change suppliers".

In addition to what I said in post #33095 I'll mention that the first coupl'a times I bought RAM from Crucial the DIMMs were branded "OEM", same as the ones I was replacing, but more recently purchased DIMMs have been branded "Crucial", unlike those shipped by Apple.

I wonder if that's also "Apple fallout", and I also wonder whether my "Crucial" DIMMs are the same ones Apple ships but just branded differently?
