Key Points
----------

* Cost. Third Party memory comes at 1/3rd the price. Most people have had
  great success with them. A few DIMM's might have failed in a large
  batch. Price/performance has me inclined to think that 3rd party memory
  will work for all the non-critical stuff that we do.

* Performance. Doesnt seem to be diff.

* Support-> If you have Sun support/warranty on your hardware, you might
  be asked to remove it before they give you support(or when they try to
  figure out what's wrong, when something breaks.)

* Some of the 3rd party vendors include

-> Dataram
-> Kingston www.kingston.com
-> Crucial  www.crucial.com

Mike pointed out that the Netra on Sun's site has crucial memory in it.

Most people agree that with the extra price that the Sun memory costs,
comes almost 100% reliability. Non Sun memory fail very, very
occasionally.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my Original Post.

>Dear Managers,

>I am planning to add 2 4-G kits to my Blade-1000. Sun wants $9K for their
>memory(for a 4G kit). Kingston(authorized to make Sun memory is my
>understanding) is charging like $4K for 2 4G kits, though  their memory
>is not "sun" memory.

>Any good/bad experiences using non "sun" memory.

>Will summarize.
