Best memory for 2006 iMac

Hi everyone. I need to buy memory for a late 2006 24" iMac intel core 2 duo (EMC-2111). I've been told this machine can only be brought up to 3 GBs. The first attempt did not go so well. What would be the best memory to buy and from where? Thanks!

I so wish that I'd found this thread before purchasing my memory. As it is I got a 4GB kit from Ramjet.
Are there any strong opinions either way on this?

Also, I have a late 2006 iMac that was supposed to be able to 'take' 4GB, but would only use 3. However when I discussed this with Ramjet I was advised that a firmware update had taken care of that problem and it would now utilize the entire 4.

I know I should have checked more thoroughly before buying the memory, but hindsight etcetera.......

I'd appreciate input on both issues. Thanks.
