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! :)

Only games and I've got a Windows 10 Workstation if I ever feel the need to game.

Why do they insist on these psuedo SAS names when the target market for this kind of thing is dweebs & geeks? Surely something like the 'ISP Nucleus' would be a more appropriate name?

Why do you insist on being so stereotypical and derogatory?

How else can we all compensate for our tiny geek sized phallus? I mean Sure we could go online posting name calling comments about people we think we're superior to I suppose.
Not a bad price, I'm happier with the cheaper ballistix sport I nabbed when that was on offer as memory makes pretty much no performance difference but still a good price/

I was referring more to the "dweeb", but of course.

How does warranty work? what if I get a faulty module. Do I have to return it to France,?

never needed to use any applications that require higher specs than a mac mini can provide?

Girlfriend & Mac lol. You can admit it. I've got a Mac Mini and a Windows 10 workstation. I had some building work done in my house so had to put the Win 10 workstation away, I've been using the Mac Mini solid since then, won't ever go back to Windows 10 now. I'll use it in work and I have Linux and Windows 10 in VMWare on the Mac Mini, I boot up Linux as I need to use that, I never boot up the Windows 10 VM.

Yep, have this kit as well, grabbed it from ebuyer/kingston's £50 deal just after New Years, seems to overclock a little as well, happily runs at 2000MHz in my ageing i7 860 rig with xmp enabled

Turns out I bought basically every part already just on my own!
I was considering a hackintosh and if it's simple then hey I might just do it - for my girlfriend that is

It doesn't generally matter you're right but when you're fudging an OS it's worth trying to stick to stuff you know is going to work with no random problems

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.

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.

It's an awesome resource - think I'll be using it a ton when I start putting all the bits together!
