N nylock10 macrumors regular Jun 26, 2006 209 0 Jan 24, 2008 #2 Apple lists in this article that you will need RAM that features the following: PC2-5300 Unbuffered Nonparity 200-pin 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM You can use RAM module sizes of 1 or 2 GB in each slot. I would recommend buying the iMac with 1GB of RAM and buying 3rd-party RAM to upgrade to XGB you want, Apple's RAM seems to be a bit pricey.
