I'm thinking of buying either a new MacBook Pro or an iMac to replace my current MBP, and I was wondering if OcUK are still selling RAM for Macs? There used to be a section under 'Memory' called 'Mac Memory' or 'Apple Memory' or something, which is where I got the 2x 2Gb DDR2 800 sticks to upgrade this machine with. Do they now sell the DDR3 1066 memory used in the MB/MBP/iMacs?

Or am I being dense and missed it?

Whilst I appreciate there isn't an 'Apple RAM' type, I would prefer some consistency regarding the selling of RAM to work with Apple's laptops from OcUK. I'm not buying any old RAM to fit in here unless I know it works.

You could say that about any motherboard/chipset that is particular about RAM. Apple isn't a special case.

True enough technically, but then Apple is infamously stubborn with their software/hardware, so I wouldn't be all that surprised if it only worked with specific RAM or something daft like that!
 
Any of the well known brands will work providing it's the right socket, type and voltage.. just like any other RAM.

Most manufacturers e.g. Crucial will sell the RAM with a guarauntee so it's worth looking on their pages for compatibility issues. Or just visit the forums and search for RAM upgrade threads and have a look what people are recommending.
