Hello,

I just orderd the new 3.06 ghz 24" imac and I'm wondering if any of you have the following ram and could varify that it fits/works

Is getting low latency ram an advantage on the imac or should I just go for something cheeper like

No none of that RAM will work.

The iMac uses laptop RAM due to its form factor.

You want this http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=015372&cid=RAM.187.844

Thanks for the fast reply Nick!

Should I stick with Kingston or does it not really matter?

That's the kit I bought a few days ago for my newly-shipped iMac... great price, but it still hasn't shipped according to the Crucial website.

I just bought it off of newegg. (well the 677 mhz version)
I ordered it wed night around 11pm and it shipped out yesterday.

 

[chibamac]

got it!

So with the help of you good people, I ended up ordering the crucial memory.

With fedex shipping it still comes out much cheaper than the Patriot offered @ Canada computers + I get a free 2 gig usb drive. Sweet deal! The guy on the phone told me they supply apple with the same Ram and it’s cheaper because they manufacture the stuff in house.

So thanks again for the advice!

How many DIMM slots does the iMac have? Are you getting those 4 gb to completely replace the RAM that came with your iMac or are you adding it on?

Edit: Found my answer. iMac has two SODIMMs, so you must be replacing the RAM that came with it.

 

[chibamac]

2 - yes

How many DIMM slots does the iMac have? Are you getting those 4 gb to completely replace the RAM that came with your iMac or are you adding it on?

To my knowledge it has 2 slots. The 2 gigs that come with the iMac are in 1gb DIMMS so they will be tossed.

Don't you mean reselling them?

Keep the old ones around. If something goes wrong, the first thing Apple wants you to do (as part of the troubleshooting process) is to try putting in the original RAM.

For what, $0.50 a piece?
