3.06 Ghz iMac - which 4GB RAM to buy?

I am about to install 4GB of RAM in my new iMac that I purchased from OWC. How can I tell if the imac recognized memory timings correctly?

Bragger. I just saw the new iMacs at the Apple Store on Michigan Ave ... my iMac is only a year old, but I still had to restrain myself ... they look awesome.

Anyway, I've always used OWC with my iMacs and have never had an issue ... they also accept trade in of RAM that comes with the machine. Great service too ... highly recommended.
 
They come with 2 X 1gb of ram and the imac only has two memory slots, so to get to 4 you need to replace both 1gb sticks.

Ah, of course. Too bad - it makes the cost up upgrading a bit more expensive as you have to throw out the 2x1gbs. Are there rebate programs available for the unused sticks?
 
assuming this is still such a great deal on sunday, will this RAM work in a 2.0 GHz 20" aluminum iMac?

check out the lowest reviews. all from apple users with newer 800Mhz penryn machines... says it's a no go. Guess I'll keep looking, don't want to chance it.

The original question though was if it works with the newest 1066MHz FSB iMacs and it appears that it does. I agree though that I wouldn't count on it working with the older 800MHz FSB iMac models or the Penryn MBPs though.

my bad i'm a pc user typing on a gateway from 2001, i'll blame it on that!
 
So if I bought this memory for my new Imac that I will be buying in the next 2 weeks, could I take out the memory in the new Imac, and use in it in my wifes SR Macbook?
