are you a heavy CS4 person? Because 4gb would be perfectly fine for more than most people.
but if you want to bump it up to 8gb, I would recommend getting the other from from a 3rd party vendor and save your self about $100
Got a tip for us?

LOL - so very true. Every time I spend more than I expected.... I just tell everyone "hey, I don't have a spending disorder - I'm patriotic! How have you been helping the economy?"
OR... maybe it would just mean that more people would be living above their limits and taking out even more loans for stuff. It could go either way
Yeah... I usually buy ram from crucial. But I was going to order the iMac with the 2TB hard drive... I upgraded my current iMac but will be a little afraid to mess around with the larger display...
So I paid for the imac about 3 days ago via bank transfer (not credit card) and it still shows "to be judged" (translated). Is it normal to take this long for them to update their shipping status page with confirmation that they received the cash?
Edit: Nevermind, ten minutes after I posted this I finally received the email.. figures

Took me 4 days to get a confirmation and I was a bit anxious. When I bought it from the apple store I got a reference number but when I tried to put that in the reference number box in my "internet bank"* it said the number was invalid. So I had to put the number in the text field and hope for the best. Luckily all went well tho and apple got my reference number.
*not a native english speaker so apologies for not knowing the proper term
FWIW, I just gave in to temptation and rang Apple to ask for an update on shipping and the chap I was talking to said "end-of-November" though "it could be earlier" and added that he had seen some orders marked as prepared for shipment. Take that as you will.
"It is already happening"
that is awesome
i just put an order for the i7 27in, lets see what apple says about shipping date
Is everyone purchasing these on a credit card or something?
Im scraping my pennies together for an i5 so wish I could afford the i7, Definately wouldn't be able to afford either if it wasn't for my gf's Uni discount!

A lot of you guys went for the i7s. I ordered the i5. Now I am recontemplating :-S. Im getting tired of the lagginess of my 2.4 ghz iMac...will i notice a diff between the i5 and the i7?
Btw, Apple rep told me that the holdup is because of the 4850s and that they knew about this well ahead of lauch but wanted to get at least something out the door. When I asked why, he said it was due to the lauch of Windows' new OS. Figures...Anyway, that notice that the apple employees in middle east and africa got, the guys here in North America didn't get anything of that sort.
I still have my hopes high.

Ordered on November 2nd
I am replacing the old white 24" 3GB with a 27", i7, 8GB, with 2TB.
Everyday I check and it says "Not yet shipped".
I did get the email for the survey. Why would they even include questions about shipping, they should already know what everyone will say.

One has shipped????
I called Apple just now and was told by the rep that she has seen one ordeer with a shipping date, but she did not tell me what the date was. She indicated the demand was very high and could not give me a date. She indicated that the units will be coming into the US and will be shipped the next day to fill orders. I asked about the shipping cost but she did not upgrade my order from Standard shipping. Really doesn't matter to me because if they ship from China I get things in 2-3 days... if from CA it still only take a few days to NV.
Oh well... read on, and on, and on...................

You do realize that the screenshot was a joke, I had a talk with one of those self-learning AI online bots and after asking about machines taking over the world I asked about the quad iMac shipping date
At Least It's Something . . .
Bad News Guys. After hounding apple stores and 1800myapple I finally got a fairly conclusive answer. I told them I needed to know for business so I wouldn't be out of town and the rep put me on hold for at least 5 min. She finally came back and told me her supervisors looked deeper into the system on my order and that it would not be shipping until . . . Nov 25th . I asked her if they were sure and she said that due to the high volume they would be taking a while to get out but since I had next day shipping (for free), that I would receive it on the 26th. I ordered mine about 3 hours after the store reopened. Its an i7, 2TB HD, with 4GB RAM. This sucks as I WILL be outta town when this arrives.
At least I finally got a non-convoluted answer. : D

Of course 11/26 is Thanksgiving Day... I don't think anything will be happening that week.
The 25th is the date they assigned to my new remote from the very beginning, projected to arrive Dec. 2., though the CPU still just says November.
How did you get a deployed discount? Did you have to call them? I ordered online with the normal military discount, but it's only like 8 percent or something.
