RAM upgrade

[0071284]

Hi there,

Looking at buying a maxed out new 27-inch iMac 5K.
Apple offers this RAM upgrade: 32GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM - four 8GB

On the OWC site I could only find 1600MHz RAM and chatted with an employee who confirmed that they do not have the 1867MHz RAM.

Does anybody have a recommendation where to buy 3rd party RAM or should I just buy it from Apple?

Thanks for the help.

I would recommend 3rd party. Its cheaper.

I didn't find the 1867MHz the other day. Good find. Thank you.

Or, you can go with 2133 RAM like me and others here. Significantly faster.

you can find it right here on owc website. if you buy from apple you are going to pay $600 just for 32gb when you can spend $89 more dollars and max it out to 64gb. 64.0GB OWC Memory Upgrade Kit
4 x 16GB 1867MHZ DDR3 SO-DIMM PC3-14900 its only $688.75

Is there any issue with leaving the 2 x 4GB that come with the iMac and then adding 2 x 16GB in the other two slots? Or is it a bad idea to have different amounts in different slots?

A lot of people here have done exactly that. And it works perfectly fine. I have something similar to that in my old iMac.
