I’ve bought my new iMac last year as well, and directly bought some extra RAM online (not with Apple). Adding RAM is very, very easy. As a true hardware noob I’m always afraid to break stuff, but this is just a matter of removing the protection thingie on the button, clicking the extra RAM in the free slot and putting back the protection. That’s it.

However, you should not buy ram on Mac websites. It’s really expensive. Just buy your mac with 2gb and go to a computer shop for 2gp additionnal (only $40/$50).

Mmmm… I am thinking to buy my first iMac… Will I choose this new or not…. ? :)

I’m very happy with my 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro, and I don’t just check my mail on it! :)

One of the advertisers on this site (Crucial Memory) can sell you some RAM that you can install. I haven’t tried a RAM upgrade on the new Macs, so I am not sure how hard it would be. The processor upgrade, though, it quite a bit trickier from what I understand.

On a more serious note, there is speculation that the chips are actually Montevinas.

Thank you.

David
