My brother, thinking he knows it all, says to me "You can't buy 3rd party RAM for a mac because it voids your warranty" and I said, "If it breaks, i can put the old RAM back in and Apple will never know". Him being a complete muppet, won't believe me, so I am searching for proof that I am correct.

Please, anyone with experience of AppleCare and RAM post in this forum, and I'd like it if a moderator posted aswell, just to make it clear to my brother that what I am saying is true.

Thanks in advance.

Have him prove himself wrong. Point him to this Apple info page.

You may install memory (RAM, VRAM), and other customer-installable parts without voiding your Apple warranty.

He now owes you a beer.

You can install RAM and a new hard drive in any Mac without voiding the warranty.

Unless you really, really botch the job.

As long as you don't break anything in the process, you're good to go (warranty-wise, that is)

Haha that showed him! And now he feels like a muppet and I can act all smug about it.
