Just a note of caution (I'm always saying this), You've got a machine with a three warranty, do you want to invalidate the remainder of that to save a couple of hundred bucks? There's no "right" answer but I've got two and a quarter years left on mine and I think the odds are that it will need some kind of repair in that time; so I'll spend the buck and put IBM approved memory in it. That's just my take on it. BTWm I've used Chip Merchant and never had a problem with them.
