My iMac contains 4 memory slots, each of which accepts
a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module. Two slots gave 2 Gb installed. My question is what is your opinion on what and where is the best place to by more memory. I would like to buy 2 sticks of 4 GB each for a total of 12GB. Please advise.

Kind Regards
Mark

Cant go past MyOWC at OtherWorldComputing.com and follow the prompts filling in your Mac Spec's and they will do the rest. Im a Aussie and have never had any probe with OWC at all with fast delivery and a good customer service. The test all there hardware as well so you know it will be good for your Mac.

Oh and welcome to M-F and be sure to return :)

Cheers

EDIT : and a little advice, its better to have the Modules the same across the board for optimum performance BUT not mandatory

Hi Markay

I just got an iMac for Christmas and my first order of business was to get more RAM!

I went to my local computer superstore and bought the Corsair Apple 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333MHZ C9 204PIN SODIMM Memory Kit Apple iMac Macbook and Macbook Pro for $40. Now I have 12GB of RAM and no issues so far.

If no one carries it locally you can order from NCIX. Note the part number.

NCIX US - Buy CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9 - Corsair Apple 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1333MHZ C9 204PIN SODIMM Memory Kit Apple iMac Macbook and Macbook Pro - Corsair - Great price and fast delivery

Hope this helps and good luck!

I run the exact same memory as above in my Mini (2x4GB config) and it has been flawless from the day I installed it.

Do a quick search though, because that site's price is a bit higher than what I paid here for it.
