I'm purchasing parts to build my hackintosh, so as recommended by tonymacx86.com I've been looking to buy 16GB of crucial ballistax RAM, noticed amazon france have got them for £51.19 delivered (that's how much I've been charged on my halifax clarity card).
Currently £63.48 on amazon uk!
Just to note, this is also fulfilled by Amazon and not a third party seller! :)
It's an awesome resource - think I'll be using it a ton when I start putting all the bits together!

Yeah it is, Tonymac has messaged on this forum in the past. I have a Mac Mini now so I don't need that site anymore, but you can be sure if you use those parts it will work.

I'd be willing to bet that the choice of RAM has no bearing whatsoever on MacOS compatibility though. It would be crazy OS which tried to handle the low level physical access to RAM - that is job for the chipset, CPU and the CPU's memory controller.
So, for a given motherboard (last time I looked Gigabyte was the top choice for Hackintosh) it is far more important to go with what the mobo manufacturer or the memory manufacturer say.
For actual Macs this may not apply. Or rather, in that case Apple is the mobo manufacturer and what they say goes. Aside from the change from 1.5V to 1.35V, I haven't actually had an incompatible memory stick in years though.
