If you go to crucial's site there are four 1GB sticks they recommend for my Rev. C 17" iMac, WTF?

Can anyone help me out to make sure I get the right one.

I'm looking at the $114 one of course, but want to make sure it's the right one.

Here's the links:

Thanks guys.

The cheaper one looks fine. Go for it.

That's what I thought too, and it seems to meets Apple's specs according to the manual.

Plus it's got better latency.

Thanks.

Since you've only got limited slots, you might splurge and max out for a 2GB module

Alternatively, NewEgg has a bunch more 1GB choices for less than crucial

You Rule!!!

This one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820150628) specs out identical to the one for $114 on Crucial. Me thinks this is the way to go, and almost at half the price.

Any objections?

Thanks again curiousuburb.

If you can afford the extra change, the $199 for 2GB is tough to beat... even the gigaram for $312. Crucial had only one 2GB for $900

Otherwise, just make sure the lifetime warranty is honoured by NewEgg and click away.

Believe me, I'd love to, but it's a bit out of my budget right now, hell even the $114 from Crucial was a stretch, since I'm gonna be getting a new iPod soon (http://forums.applenova.com/showthread.php?t=12789).

Plus, I doubt I'd see that much of an improvement. The most intensive thing I run is Photo Shop, so 1.5GB should be good.

But I agree with your thinking, this is a one shot deal so you gotta make the most of it.

Well, off the newegg and get ready to crack open my iMac.

On the Intel iMacs I heard it is better to use two sticks of 512MB then the 1GB stick of RAM, or, if you do get the 1 GB stick, pair it with another stick of 1GB of RAM. Anybody else here of this?
