OCZ Memory

Any reason that this memory wouldn't be good for my new iMac?

It's desktop RAM. You need laptop RAM.

Here's what you need.

Wait, I need laptop memory? Doesn't the iMac use desktop memory? Wow, I feel like my parents.

Nope. Laptop processors need laptop RAM.

Good to know. I would have thought that the iMac, being a desktop, would use desktop memory. Glad I asked.

Thanks.

For my iMac (2.8GHz) I found OCZ memory (SO-DIMM) at Microcenter for $29 per 2GB stick (with $20 rebate). For $60 I've upgraded to 4GB.

I don't like rebates, but have never had an issue with a rebate for an item purchased at Microcenter.

I picked up 4 gigs of OCZ ram for my new iMac and it's been great. Rarely use more than 2, but it's nice to have.
