Best RAM for New iMac?

[Elektrikz]

Hey,

Ok my iMac is arriving on Wednesday.. It is coming with 8GB Ram, will that be enough or should I purchase another 8GB?

If the latter option which Ram is perfect for the iMac and is it cheap?

Check out Crucial as they do RAM at a good price. A lot of people on here bought the new iMac with 8GB - myself included - then upgraded to 16GB (or 32GB in some cases) using Crucial memory. You can get better RAM which might be slightly faster but after doing some research myself it was quite obvious that the difference was barely noticeable, if at all.

not sure if i'm allowed to post this;

But quill has the memory on sale for 89.99.


MODS sorry if this is against any rules.

Take these ones

I already have 8 though....

I think 24GB is a bit over the top lol

I Googled and read several forums/threads.

Patriot was on sale for $89 and g.skill for $99. Both 2x8GB kits.

$10 is not much of difference but I went with Patriot based on a few threads I read, majority said brand makes no difference but 2-3 picked Patriot so I went with it. LOL

Has anyone ordered or has experience of buying from MR Memory.

I currently have 12GB of RAM in my 2011 iMac 27"

If u was to upgrade my RAM, would i be able to place the (2x2GB) sticks in a mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro?

That would then put my Macbook Pro on 8GB of RAM.

i see no reason as to why it wouldn't work, but would prefer to ask before i attempt it.
