Aluminum Macbooks Crashing with Third-Party RAM

It's a fairly common strategy: buy a new computer, and then upgrade the RAM yourself. In general, it's cheaper, and often the new RAM is of better quality the OEM RAM. But Macs have been known to be picky about RAM, and right now it looks like if you want to upgrade your shiny new aluminum Macbook, you might want to wait: multiple crashing / freezing issues with third-party RAM have been reported on the Apple Support forum.
