Upgrading memory

[Livers]

I'm thinking of finally ordering the new 2.66GHz iMac and thought I might opt for the extra 2GB of memory but at £120 a pop I'm not so sure. Do I have to go with the memory Apple recommend or is there a cheaper alternative? Is it easy to install or am I better off just ordering it with 4GB and paying the stupid price?

Thanks!

given my bandwidth, I bet there are 4 answers for you already.

Get you memory from a reputable third party vendor. I personally can't recommend any in your part of the world.

Thanks, so is it easy to access and install it?

I'm UK based if anyone has any recommendations.

No problem, just discovered this and it looks pretty easy

Is all memory the same, should I be avoiding anything?

The best price seems to be 7dayShop

I just came across that seconds after my previous post and realised just how lazy I've become. Thanks.

Right, after reading through the guide I think I know what I'm doing. I'm astonished at the price difference though.
