Buy the RAM from a third-party vendor like Newegg or whatever, not from Apple. Often you can get the exact same RAM, but for a much lower price. Just be careful

Buy the RAM from a third-party vendor like Newegg or whatever, not from Apple. Often you can get the exact same RAM, but for a much lower price. Just be careful to get compatible RAM.
Sidenote : I was just checking out iMacs, which are pretty cool. Upgrading from 4GB to 8GB costs 900$ at the apple store. That's expensive. That RAM better be great.
- Zev 17y agoiMacs use laptop ram. Getting 8GB DDR3 ram for laptops is expensive, even from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010170381%201309139890%201309239101&name=DDR3%201066%20%28PC3%208500%29 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE.... $900 from Apple isn't nearly as bad of a markup as you might imagine. side note: I wouldn't buy the G.SKILL ram. Anecdote, but I've had bad experiences with it. Plus, ~half the cost of the closest item makes me suspicious of its quality.
- trafficlight 17y agoAnecdote, but I've had great experiences with G.skill memory. I have maybe a dozen machines with that stuff in them and they are working great.
