I second NewEgg. Best prices, cheap shipping and very reputable.

iMac does not support 8GB modules. If you want 16GB, you must get 4x4GB

so that means 2X4GB is still 8Gb on each ram module correct? cause i think imac 27 has only two memory slots if i am not mistaken

It has four, so the maximum is 4x4GB, total of 16GB
