[QUOTE="dagaz, post: 9477"] With the new flat panel iMacs you only get one user-servicable RAM slot. To get access to the other RAM slot (factory installed) you have to basically take your Mac apart, see this [URL='https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4791']Apple Support page[/URL]. As it says on the page: I have read elsewhere that even attempting to do this will void your warranty ( and I assume your AppleCare as well). So to answer the original question, if you want the maximum 1Gig of RAM you are going to have to fork out for the Apple installed RAM, which is a lot more expensive than other RAM that's out there.
