New iMac - RAM upgrade

I am going to buy a 21.5 inch iMac and would like to know if it's worth upgrading to 8g of RAM for $200. Or is this something I can do later and install myself and save some cash. Thank you.

I received my 21.5" iMac on the 22nd and it definitely has FOUR slots capable of having 4 GB chips in each of them.

"4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; supports up to 16GB"

I bought 4GB of RAM for my Macbook from Crucial, it was super easy to buy and install the right RAM through their website.... Way cheaper than buying through Apple.

I would look into Other World Computing (OWC) for RAM. Best customer service anywhere and competitive prices.
