poor guy, leave him alone. I'm glad he shared his story. This is not a forum to praise apple but to troubleshoot as well. I've had problem installing RAM before and I know how frustrating it can be if it doesn't go in perfectly.

Thanks again OP for sharing your story.

For what it worth, I just got a 24" 2.4 GHz iMac with 1 GB of ram and I purchased 2 x 2GB from OWC. I was surprised at how easy the memory upgrade was. However, I did make sure the computer was running before loading the RAM, that was 2 weeks ago with Tiger. Now I'm running Leopard without a hitch.

This is not meant to disrespect the OP, but I was in nearly the same situation but I was surprised at how smoothly it went. Now my Mac Mini is a bit more involved. Still, I feel your pain, for what that is worth.
