RAM suggestions for my early 2008 iMac?

[Lord-Crimble]

Hello,

I am new here, so please forgive any ignorance as far as mac hardware goes. I have the early 2008 iMac (just upgraded to Lion)

I have 2gb of ram and would like to upgrade to 4gb. The 'about my mac' section has directed me to this page of the different requirements.

Could anybody link me to the ram I need or suggest good places (and makes) to buy?

Thank you!

A simple way is to use the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool.

• Apple does not manufacture RAM and charges more than you would pay with other reputable RAM providers.
• Some great sources for Mac-compatible RAM are OWC, Crucial and newegg.com.
• Installation of user-installable parts such as RAM does not void the Apple Warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan, unless you damage something in the process.

You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:

• By visiting EveryMac.com: Actual Maximum RAM
• By selecting your model on the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool to find RAM information
• By using Mactracker
• By entering your serial number here to find specs for your model.
  (Be aware that some models can use more RAM than Apple shows. Check EveryMac to verify actual usable RAM.)
