[QUOTE="PocoSimon, post: 1338650, member: 225747"] This is my worst suspicion, though I can't imagine why an Apple tech would bother to harvest RAM from new machines while still having to replace it with other older RAM. What else might have been tampered with I can't imagine but have to believe it's simply not worth the trouble and risk... yet there I am with what seems to be an obvious inside job (apple store). The Mac is otherwise running well and i am still a devout convert. I will have to compare more of the specs with what I find in my own iMac and follow up with Apple as best I can for a more lasting level of comfort. For the record, we have two Macs - my girlfriend got a iMac 21" and I got the 27 inch. She had the wrong OS and I had the wrong RAM. Both purchased at the same time from the same store. To be continued... [/QUOTE]
