Hi! Will this work with the new iMacs?

Thanks!

On paper, yes. Try it and if it doesnt work look at Crucial RAM.

That NewEgg is not a great price:
$238 for a kit at Data Memory Systems, who actually know Macs, and offer excellent service. And they test and guarantee their RAM in Macs.

One more q: Will 800mhz RAM work too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227251 ?(the iMac does have a 800mhz fsb). Will I get a performance increase?

Please try a Search in the forum, this also has been covered many times here.

Although the FSB is 800 MHz, the memory controller is hardwired at 667 and therefore 800 MHz RAM will give no advantage.
