I doubt that Cisco memory is better than the premium brands of 3rd party memory such as Kingston, Crucial, or Corsair. It's the same thing. Cisco does not manufacture RAM. They buy from many different vendors. Quality memory is quality memory. I'm sure sometimes gasp they don't even use the best memory. Make no mistake that they use FUD to keep their profit margins up.

If Micron is good enough for Cisco it should be good enough for the rest of us ;~) And actually Cisco aren't particuarly "difficult" about 3rd paty memory. If it looks like you have a memory related problem then yes they will expect you to verify it with genuine Cisco memory (which isn't unreasonable) but for other problems it has not been an issue in my experience.
