Hey, I know there are a bunch of different brands and technical specs for RAM out there, so I was just wondering what kind I should be buying for the new 27'' imac??? Thanks.
public String getBestRam(PreferenceType type)
{
if(type == PreferenceType.LESS_MONEY)
{
return "Crucial features slightly lower prices than OWC.";
}
else if(type == PreferenceType.CUSTOMER_SUPPORT)
{
return "OWC's customer support has higher ratings than Crucial's.";
}
else {
return "Both vendors' RAM have lifetime warranties, and neither will have better performance over one another. Really depends on your preference.";
}
}
public static enum PreferenceType
{
LESS_MONEY,
CUSTOMER_SUPPORT,
NOT_SURE;
}
I too am excited, the 27 has easily user replaceable ram
Where can I see the RAM slots in the new 27-inch iMac? The tear-down review of replacing RAM in the 21.5-inch iMac concerns me that the procedure is above my pay grade. I'd prefer to buy my own RAM as I have for other computers, but want to be sure that I can perform the exchange before I order a BTO. So far, I can't find a photo or line art of the not-yet-released 27-inch model. Thanks.
I'm a bit confused about what latency RAM to buy. I see CL9, CL10 and CL11 available. Presumably the lower the number the better, but they say that means more heat. The iFixit teardown shows that Apple is putting C11 in the smaller iMac -- but I assume it's anyone's guess at this point what they will put in the 27".
I've ordered my 27" with the stock 8Gb, and I plan to buy two 8Gb SODIMMS to bring it up to 24Gb. At the end of the day, does it really matter if the two I buy have a different latency than the RAM it comes with, or should I wait until I get the machine and match the latency?
