[QUOTE="OldGuyPete, post: 249755"] Hi, Happy to find this place. :) Question: My girlfriend just bought a new 20" iMac (Dual Core) 2Ghz. Came with 512 Memory. I have a surprise for her (I HOPE she doesn't read this place!) ;) Anyway... I ordred this: DDR2 1GB PC2-5300 (667MHz) CL-5 SO-Dimm Patriot Signature PSD21G6672S (Two of them) to replace the 512 that the machine came with. I figure I can throw the 512 on eBay or something and make somebody who only wants to double their memory happy... anyway). That memory specs out the same, correct? How come then when I called Patriot and asked them they said it "should" work but because it is an Apple they can't promise it will? What the heck is up with that? Am I ok? Or did I goof? Thanks for reading, Pete [/QUOTE]
