Well I remember seeing a message on groupstudy where somone from the tac
came on and made a statement along the lines that a substantial quantity
of cases they get are a result of non Cisco memory.

Yes and this non cisco ram can make Cisco's tac have a cor or two..

Cisco have certified a number of RAM vendors; you can happily buy
RAM from them (at non-inflated prices) without voiding your warranty
or causing an abnormal palpitations in the TAC.

For example:

Last time I priced RAM upgrades for RSP4s (which was a few years
ago now) cisco list price was around five times greater than
Kingston's price for cisco-approved SIMMs. Hooray, etc.
