Hi, I am upgrading the memory of my late 2012 27in iMac i5 3.2 ghz. I know the specs of the memory needed. I'm buying either at Amazon.ca or TigerDirect.ca (I'm in Canada). I really don't want to make a mistake. Problem is what seems to be the right memory doesn't bare the exact same numbers on the two sites. Difference is in these numbers. TigerDirect.ca reads CT2C8G3S160BM when Amazon.ca reads CT2K8G3S160BM. Buying from an american sites would be the same price with exchange rate.

I'd really appreciate some help. I know it's kid stuff, but I always had my computer's memory changed by Apple in the past. Now I want to do it.

Thanks to all
