Apples are fussy computers. RAM you buy outside might not work with it.

I've had 6-7 Macs in the past 5 years, all of them were using 3rd party RAM with no problems. I also worked with Mac hardware for a long time, never had problems with 3rd party RAM. Don't buy cheap RAM but don't get duped into buying expensive memory.

The other alternative is to buy my own ram, up to 4gb and fit into the iMac, which would automatically void the warranty. I'm so sure I save a lot more, but at the same time I want the warranty as I'm afraid of anything.

Thanks!  smile.gif

But like you said, I'm a complete technological doofus, so I'll get a technician to install it for me. The reason for the 4GB of ram is simple, go for it if you can afford it.

My current Windows pc is now stuck with just 384MB of ram. Didn't upgrade at all when I first bought it. RDRAM was later phased out and I'm left with no upgrade options  sad.gif  The last remaining stocks are just too pricey now

It sounds like you *really* don't need > 2GB RAM. Just FYI a 2GB RAM upgrade (from the existing 1GB) will cost you around RM120. A 4GB RAM upgrade is closer to RM900. These are Kingston (ie. brand name) RAM prices at LYP.

Good luck.

I'm on the other side, I use VMware very often and I wish I can have 4GB of RAM or more on my Macbook. I have 3GB now and it's just about enough...

When I originally upgraded to 2GB, 1GB SO-DIMMs were RM450 a piece. biggrin.gif Fortunately someone else is paying for RAM biggrin.gif
