Congrats ! Sounds like a great deal ! Hope you are happy with your new Mac. Definitly more RAM will help.

Cheers
 
i got one two

I bought that same system on microcenter online last week!!! I love it!!!! I went from my 800 ibook which i thought was great untill i saw the flawless screen on my new imac for only 1299 17" and a superdrive!!!!! Too excited putting 512 more ram in it today..that was only 99 dollars at crucial.com congrats😀
 
yes, im going to order today from crucial as well, free 2 day shipping too !
a bit afraid to install it though, dont wanna damage lcd when I tip it upside down oh well, Ill read online what to do I guess lol.
 
Quick question, should I put the panther upgrade cd in while I only have 256mb ram?....just want to make sure it wont run sluggish..tanks..Dino.
 
i suggest you upgrade the ram before you upgrade to panther.

but run the hardware test first to make sure it not bad ram
