[QUOTE="korndevil666, post: 407423, member: 32130"] Hey, I'm going to buy the 17" (better model) iMac next month but i wanted an upgraded hard drive and ram. I'm not paying apples ridiculous prices and just wanted to check something, since some people have had problems with their seagate drives not being recognized with their Imacs? I'm planning to purchase a Samsung HD501LJ 500gb hard drive. will this drive cause any problems if i buy it? if not, what 500gb hard drive would you guys recommended which is fast and around a similar price. [url]http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/SpinPointTSeries/HardDiskDrive_SpinPointTSeries_HD501LJ.asp[/url] Also It states in the description "Max. 167GB Formatted Capacity per Disk". what does this actually mean? i have to have 3 different partitions? just need some clarification here on what it means exactly. also, I'm going to buy a 2gb ram kit from the crucial website. I wanted to know whether this crucial ram will work in combination with the 1gb stick provided by apples (samsung?) ram which is already in the Imac? or will the be some complications because its different? i've mixed ram in my pc but not sure since ive never upgraded a mac. thankss [/QUOTE]
