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.
