Hey guys, I've been habitually lurking these forums for the last couple of months in anticipation of the new Imac and thought that its time to actually start contributing. I'll start with a question for the vast amount of people here that have far superior tech knowledge to myself. I'm intending to go all out in terms of specs when the new machines are (finally) released as I want to get atleast 4 years out of it. My question is in regards to buying 3rd party ram for the new Imac. On a lot of sites I've been researching, the available ram is specifically categorized under "Imac 2010" and "Imac 2011" and so on. Does this mean I should wait until the 2012 Imac is released before purchasing 16gb of ram? Or, for all intensive purposes, is there no difference if I was just to stick ram that has been classified as "Imac 2011" memory in the new machine? I'm asking because I want to have 16gb of ram right off the bat when I buy the computer, but I obviously don't want to pay the over inflated prices that Apple offers.
Sorry if this is a ridiculously stupid question guys!

I took mine from 8GB to 16GB for a fraction of the price. It's the only thing I won't buy from them...Newegg are also good.
