Have a look on crucial.com. There are various issues here - including
electrical - e.g. you can have a limit on the number (or location) of
dual-stacked DIMMs (where chips are piggy-backed).
At the end of the day all computers are electrical and running things
out of spec can fry things. Good quality stuff obviously helps there.
