Aftermarket RAM for Imac ??

[bigdazzler]

Has anyone upgraded their mac with an aftermarket Kingston RAM module ??

Macs suffer very badly from incompatible RAM, you only need to go to some of the Mac forums to see how many faults are rectified by refitting or replacing RAM. Generally only genuine RAM is fitted.

Yes I know the aftermarket stuff is cheaper but is it worth all the angst if a problem happens?

I'd stick with genuine and have done so already - my MBP is 4Gb of genuine stuff.

Even better is that their RAM is genuine - have dealt with epower before and had no problems

If you buy extra memory at the MAC stores, you're paying a rib extra for it. That was one of my main reasons not to buy my iMAC from the MACstore but instead from a specialized dealer. They fitted a Kingston 2GB Module 800MHZ PC2-6400 DDR2 SO-DIMM module. Works like a dream!

Daz,
Important extra to buy: Applecare! Hasn't been mentioned yet, but can save a lot of angst.
