iMac Ram Differences

[mat25]

I'm thinking of upgrading the Ram on my iMac, because there is sale for 8.0GB. I was wondering if there was any difference between these sticks of Ram, because the one thats not on sale has the OWC brand and the one sale just says 'major brand memory'.

'Major Brand memory' - Sale

ive not checked your links because i cant be bothered but i had the same question with my old iMac and after some research i found out that as long as all the specifications are correct/the same it does not make the slightest of difference

The only difference is the warranty.

Thanks for the replies. If i decide to get get the Ram ill get the cheaper one, considering there are no performance differences.

Just a brief caution that some of us have found that the 2010 iMac line are a little picky about RAM.

It's becoming an openly discussed issue that a configuration of 4x4GB NuRAM (sold by OWC as their value line) will not work in the 2010 iMac, even though it apparently complies with specifications.
