No. I live in TX and the ram shipped from TX.
Oh, Lucky!
Mine still says at ups mail innovations:
Tracking information unavailable at this time, please check back later for additional information.
That means that UPS hasn't handed it off to USPS yet.
Mine was shipped Friday and Sunday I got a notice that USPS had it, then blamo today I got it since yesterday was veterans day.
Thanks for the info.
Not that a really matters since I am still waiting for a replacement mac...
Just curious.
How does it run with 4GB? I had 2GB before.
I haven't done a lot with it yet so I can't say. For 100 bucks and never having to upgrade again with the iMac I'd say its worth it even if (right now) the changes are not noticeable.
Why must you see a difference. The point of the RAM is to have it when you need it.. not to gain 20% (unrealistic figure, by the way) speed.

both my 2 gigs of owc and my 4 gigs of crucial arrived today. I paid about 200 for all 6 gigs combined

FYI, my backordered RAM from buy.com just shipped!!! but I will be out of town for 2 wks.
It'll come in your mail box (not fedex or ups unless you paid for better shipping). So the post office will hold all your mail (once the mailbox gets too full).
I would also like to know if there is any way to test the newly installed memory?
Because more RAM does not change the speed of your CPU
Having NOT enough RAM however, slows the machine down when you are using multiple programs or large programs, so that the OS is forced to move swap files on and off the hard drive. More RAM = fewer hard drive accesses.
So the trick is to have enough RAM.
It's like saying "Taking my foot off the brake pedal causes the car to speed up" -- No, taking the foot off the brake removes a barrier to speed.

Backwards...108 decrease to 2930 and that was the best of three runs. I suppose GeekBench doesn't push the limits of RAM.
