I bought my Corsair ram for my Macbook off Newegg. It was $55 total for 2GB (1GBx2). Using for a month now and so far works perfectly.
You sure about there? The store I work at has the last gen 24inch on demo and the back comes off to access the hard drive.
I forgot about the VESA mount on the 24" models.Yep. The back comes off only on the 24". That is why the wall mount only works on that model and not the 20" or the 17". Lame huh?
http://www.crucial.com - fantastic in my experience. They've got a nifty "Memory Advisor tool" to help you pick. This is inexpensive RAM as opposed to cheap RAM - there's a difference.
This thing reflects light from all over the place and the keyboard is horrendous. I can't tell you how bad this thing looks because I'm looking at so many reflections of stuff throughout the store behind me that it is pathetic you can't buy this baby matt. It's a lovely piece of art but this is a case of form preceeding function instead of vice versa. Not good.
You buy the low end one 1GB stick 24" and ADD 2.8 GHz for $250. Then you buy TWO 2GB sticks from OWC for $230 and you have a really fast dual core iMac with plenty of RAM for the future.I saw in the presentation that there is only one screw to remove to get to the RAM. I am planning on buying a new 24" iMac when Leopard comes out and I would like it to be outfitted with 2 Gigs of RAM but it is $135 in the Apple Store on-line to upgrade to 2 Gigs. What is anyone's experience with buying cheap 3rd party RAM for their iMacs? Currently on newegg there are prices as low as $35 for TechWorks and as low as $45 for Corsair 1 Gig modules. Should it send up a red flag that there is THAT much of a price difference? OR should I be completely safe going with one of those sticks for my upgrade to 2 Gigs?
Wow! What a difference the "old" keyboard and a matt screen make. It's no contest from where I stand in the Palo Alto Apple Store. This keyboard rocks and I just got my Bluetooth version today that I ordered yesterday from the refurb store for $49 after I saw what is replacing them yesterday morning.
There are ZERO reflections from behind me and looks plenty bright to me. I gotta stick with matt for the rest of my life so I guess I won't be buying any iMacs for this lifetime anyway. My keyboards need to have real traveling distance and cups for my fingers to feel rested in before they press down a significant distance. The "new" iMac is probably the WORST new Mac to come along since I can't remember when. Total disaster from where I stand.
I totally agree. The glossy screen sucks bigtime and the aesthetics of the thing are horrible.

It's an 8-bit panel. Your complaint might be valid for notebooks, but then it wouldn't be a "trend" at all--it's never been any different.I think this trend toward 6-bit displays
These are contradictory concepts. If the edges are wide enough to shift colors, you're not able to look at them simultaneously with the center. Either you're sitting too close to the display or you mean something else. Your eyes shouldn't travel more than 15 degrees off-center to reach the edge of a display at the recommended viewing distance, and any photograph will show a consistent image across the screen at that distance.The edges of modern wide displays are at a sufficiently different viewing angle from the middle to distort everything you're looking at
If it truly bothers you, here's a solution: screen cover filmHow long do you think it will be to someone offers a non reflective stickon screen for the iMac.
Any thoughts on Kingston? I want to upgrade to 4gb and thought about getting this stuff from my local computer store. I know Kingston is a reputable manufacturer. I would get Micron or Samsung from OWC, but I'm not sure yet, especially because I'm in Canada and have reservations about warranty/customs. And is the warranty really void if you buy third party? That doesn't make sense to me.
Honest thoughts, plz.

I don't get it ... up until a very few years ago, practically every monitor you could buy was a CRT with glass over the front of it. Strangely, everyone seemed to manage just fine but now ... the merest sniff of a reflection on a screen and everyone seems to freak out ...
