Just ordered it from www.macsales.com
I paid $70 bucks.
Not bad. I can't wait to see how well it performs after this upgrade.

Just ordered 8GB of RAM for my iMac :)

Unless you are using memory intensive applications you won't notice much of a difference. Still wise to stuff it full at the current prices though since it *will* eventually be useful.
Thanks.
Well I plan to go to school for computers here pretty soon and I think the RAM will help out for virtualizing Operating Systems.
In that case it will DEFINITELY be useful. OS virtualisation is the biggest memory hog ever. You spent wisely. 🙂
Actually, it will make a big difference in applications such as Final Cut Pro X, Maya, ZBrush, etc.
Next time you order memory, go to newegg.com, you can get 8GB for $40. I installed an additional 8GB in my 2011 27" iMac and it runs beautifully.

Yep indeed does. Final Cut runs great in 12Gig 🙂 Not sure of the OP's apps though. If he is going to run VMware or Parallels then stuff the thing full. But a bit of word processing, iPhoto, light gaming and web surfing that is pretty much what most folks do - the standard 4 gig works fine.
