iMac ram chip help

[Bmode]

I'm helping a friend install an additional 512MB ram chip in his new iMac G4 17".

The Apple specs say: PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM expandable to 1GB; one 184-pin DIMM and one open user-accessible SO-DIMM slot.

Anyone have any tips where to get the best deal on this chip? Pricewatch.com? Some websites have it, but they don't list SO-DIMM. Is this user accessible chip the same 184-pin that everyone is selling?

Thanks in advance.

Other World Computing has some of the best prices on memory and hardware.

Actually, I'm more interested in finding the proper chip, not so much a good price. Other World Computing at $79 for 512 is not bad, but I've seen it as low as $52 on Pricewatch.com. Thanks for responding.

Did you try the other link? It refers to the exact chip that you were asking about. Scroll down the page and you'll find the SO-DIMM items.

I wouldn't necesarily recomend buying the cheapest chip you can find at pricewatch.com. A lot of no name brand memory is crap and can screw up your computer.

This is also true! Thanks Wallygator.

anybody know how to upgrade the 700mhz processor.

Too slow to run a couple of apps like garage band, i think, and more importantly Medal of Honor.
