Wow, you ordered the full 16GB Ram. I just got the basic 4GB. Apple's Ram is almost 3x the price of 3rd party stuff (at least here in the UK) - and it's so easy to add more with the extra 2 slots.

anyone elses apple remote ship? mine unexpectedly shipped this morning.

Yeah, That's what mine says and I ordered the i7 w/ 8g of ram. Should be fine, I wouldn't sweat it to bad.

Mine remote shipped this morning with a delivery date of Nov. 3rd.

Be aware to to take advantage of the faster triple channel memory it is best to install DIMMS in threes, preferable leaving the 4th slot empty. I ordered with 2 2GB dimms and am adding an equally spec'd 3rd 2gb dimm. Once prices come down i'm switching them out for 3 4gb dimms. Right now I will take the speed over the total RAM amount.

I ordered mine on the 20th at 1PM.

IMAC 27"/4850-512MB Z0GF $2,199.00 1 $2,199.00
With the following configuration:

* PROCESSOR 065-9233 2.8GHZ QUAD-CORE INTEL CORE I7
* MEMORY 065-9264 4GB 1066MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X2GB
* HARD DRIVE 065-9411 1TB SERIAL ATA DRIVE
* GRAPHICS 065-8981 ATI RADEON HD 4850 512MB
* OPTICAL DRIVE 065-9410 8X DOUBLE-LAYER SUPERDRIVE
* MOUSE 065-8412 APPLE MAGIC MOUSE

OK, so slightly off topic: I too am waiting for my i7 iMac. Thinking about RAM: I have the 2x4GB dimms I put in my current (early '09 3.06) iMac, plus I still have the 2x2GB dimms that it came with. The new one will come with 2x2GB, so I have a bunch of possible configurations given the 4 available slots in the new iMac.
I was thinking of putting a 4GB dimm in each of the first two slots, and a 2GB dimm in each of the second two slots, for a total of 12GB. Are you saying I'm better off leaving the 4th slot empty? The resulting 10GB will still be (way) overkill, but I have the dimms already so I thought I might as well use them.

The iMac will work best with matched pairs, so 2x4 and 2x2 for a total of 12GB should be just fine.

Thank you. Does it matter which dimms go in which slot? There used to be a knowledge base doc on the Apple site for this, but I can't find it now. Thanks for your help.

No as long as they are inserted with the slot positioned correctly it doesn't matter. When your machine arrives it will have instructions in the manual (you know that little book you never read 😉 ) that will show how it's supposed to be installed. If you want to look ahead of time here is the manual, look on page 40 and pay attention to the picture of where the slots are.

iMac i5 and i7 does not use triple channel controller.

Anyone else get their remote shipped today?

I ordered on the first day of availability from the online store, still says November. My remote, originally indicating a specific late November date, shipped today and is in Anchorage as I type this! Don't know what I will do with it till the iMac arrives. I am unhappy about the lack of a numeric keypad on the wireless keyboard, though; I went out and bought a nice bluetooth stand-alone numeric pad from (gulp) Microsoft, which works great with the Mac. Oh well. That and the remote will sit and wait.
