>From the recent discussion about memory upgrades I conclude that as far as
prestanda goes it would be OK to get memory from a third party vendor such
as Viking or Kingston.

But since the discussion referred to 770:s and as I am a newbie I would like
to ask if there is any reason why the above would not apply to an I-series?

Also, is the warranty for the machine I bought (before upgrading it myself)
affected in any way by me putting non-IBM memory in the machine? What
triggers my question is the below (which I don't quite understand)

Thanks for any help on this matter.
