[QUOTE="JustinRiney, post: 689755, member: 46747"] I definitely considered this. Call me crazy, but for some reason I get peace of mind with factory installed products and will pay more for them. It's almost an OCD of mine, actually. If I know I can click on the specs within the computer and see that the computer originally only came with 2MB of memory, but it really has 4MB because I upgraded, it almost detracts from the computer for me. I'm pretty picky when it comes to this type of stuff, but then again, I'm the guy that has to have his iTunes files perfectly in order or I get anxious. Not only that, but this computer is the beginning of my Mac artillery and I plan to have it around as my main computer for a while. I'll eventually add a MacBook Pro and at some point the iMac will get outdated and I'll add a new desktop. But I look at it as a prized possession, and I'd like it perfect. Sticking third party memory in it is like painting over the original paint on a classic car. It just feels wrong for me. Honestly, I didn't even like the idea of purchasing an iMac from the inventory of our local Apple store and installing the additional memory there. Sure, it's the same thing they do in the factory, but it just feels right for it to be done in the factory. Not in a store at my local mall. :Confused: [/QUOTE]
