iMac RAM Upgrade in the Future?
I am the proud owner of a new Al iMac 2.8ghz, 4gb of RAM, 256 mb graphics. If, in the future, Apple comes out with an iMac with say, 6gb of RAM with 3 in each slot, would I be able to upgrade the RAM in my iMac to 6gb?

The Santa Rosa chipset allows for a 800 MHZ bus yet the RAM is only 667? Any chance that will be ungraded?

Your machine is limited to what the hardware memory controller will recognize. (and you'll never see a 3 Gb RAM module - RAM sizes go up by multiples of 2: 256 - 512 - 1024 - 2048 - 4096)
