iMac Ram UK

[lc25]

So i just bought a 27" iMac and want to up the ram to either 16GB or 12 my question is this. Where within the UK is the cheapest place to buy iMac ram which works , I am currently looking at buying the 16GB kit from OWC in the USA as forum users have confirmed no issues with it.

Thanks LC

Any RAM with compatible specs (PC3-10600, DDR3 1333MHz, SODIMM) should work. No need to buy "Apple/Mac certified" RAM.

I bought Kingston's recommended part for the 27" iMac from CBC Computers. I've been running two of those plus the two 2GB modules that came with the Mac since November.

I was hesitant to buy 16gb of ram from crucial as people had been experiencing random shutdown problems with some sets of 16gb ?

I've used OWC for RAM on several occasions and can't help but sing they're praises, after ordering on a Sunday morning I had my RAM installed by the end of the week, they put the competition to shame and I saved a fortune.

That said the pound is a lot weaker than it once was, but my experiences with OWC still rate as some of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had, to the point that I sent them an email to say just that!

4GB Ram... up to 8 or make the move to 16..

Have a year old 27" Mac..Apple just replaced a bad hard drive..I'm running parallels, XP all for Quickbooks. I'm told I will see a difference from 4 to 8...question is, will going from 8 to 16 outweigh the cost of making that move.
If 8 sounds the way to go would I do 2 4's leaving two slots for an additional 8 in the future..or as mentioned do the 16 now. Thanks in advance for any help.

Another vote for Crucial here (http://www.crucial.com/uk for a direct link to the UK site): I've used Crucial Ram for the last 7 or 8 years and never had a single problem with any memory I've bought from them.
The product's great, delivery is fast (normally next day) and the prices are low: I couldn't ask any more
