RAM deals

Hi Captian Tex

No you need the 200 pin 4GB kit.

Or a single 2GB to add to your 1GB for 3GB

Thanks! I couldn't find the pin count on the iMac tech page, so I thought finding another PC2-5300 module would be sufficient. I'll order the kit you mentioned.

Thanks again,

Your welcome!

Next time it would be better to "Post New Topic" for your question(s), rather than to post to an old thread!

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

Sure, I'll do that next time. One follow up question though, the Corsair you linked is out of stock. I found a Kingston kit which I think is identical, if you don't mind, could you just double check it for me?

Yes those spec's look good! A few folks have reported problems with Kingston, OWC or Crucial would be my next choice.

There have been mixed reports on compatibility with Kingston's "Value Ram"
product line (KVR prefix). There's no financial risk if you buy from Newegg,
but if it doesn't work, you'll lose the time involved in messing with a return.

You can minimize that risk by paying a little extra for "Apple-specific" RAM.
Newegg lists several Apple-specific products under: *Apple > Mac Memory*
Also check mushkin.com, crucial.com, and macsales.com (a.k.a. OWC) for
good prices on guaranteed-compatible Mac memory.

Sweet, thanks! I'm ordering a bunch of other stuff, so I'd like to go with NewEgg. It seems like Mushkin has a good rep, so I might go with them. I found a deal that seems good since it has free shipping and a $20 rebate:

Thanks again, I'm really looking forward to this new iMac.

Here's Mushkin's "Perfectmatch for Apple" product for $1.00 more.

...I paid almost double that, just 10 weeks ago,

Awesome, thanks! I stumbled across that one too but wasn't sure what the deal was. I'll go with that one.

Hello all. I just made the jump and purchased my first Apple ever. It is the Core Duo 2.16 and I wish to upgrade the 1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM memory. I skimmed thru this thread and found another memory option at Newegg-

How would that memory card work with my system? Here is what Newegg recomended for upgrade for my computer-

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

I just put 2 2GB sticks in my white iMac 24" from Crucial. Has been working great so far.
