I remmeber looking up the specs for its RAM (even the Mac OS 'About This Mac' would tell you the RAM speed), and I bought RAM of the same spec but different brand (perhaps Crucial).  I was pretty sure there was a warning message about non-Apple RAM.  I don't remember where that warning was now - perhaps in a system info app, or it may have been something that was only displayed once after I put in the new RAM; I don't remember now.
