There is no difference between mac ram and pc ram, they all work on the same form factor. As long as you buy a decent brand ram you should be fine.

That is totally wrong. If you don't use a ram that is approved by Apple, your mac will not start. Yes, it is the same ram, but it has to match with something. I'm not sure what. Maybe its the timings?

Being the owner for not one but two different Macs (one laptop, one desktop) and having upgraded the RAM in both myself, I can tell you with 100% assurance that any RAM that works in a PC works in a Mac, with all the same sort of advantages and restrictions (ie. dual channel pairs, etc.).
