Really stupid RAM question!

[matt39932]

Hi guys,

I have decided after much deliberation, to plonk some money on an Imac.

Looking at customising the machine on the apple stores website, nearly made me convulse!

Admittedly, I am a complete moron when it comes to technical specs, and general computing know-how, but £400 for 4 Gig of RAM seems quite steep

Now, I live in the UK, but have come across a company called OWC, and shipping included, their modules are a lot cheaper than apples!

I am a bit confused as to what to purchase though, I have three options:

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/53IM2DDR4GBK/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/53SDR2SAM2GB/

The samsung is considerably more expensive, and I can't tell the difference... Are all brands essentially the same, and you just pay for the name?

Which one should I pick!

Kind regards,

Personally I bought the OWC brand RAM. My iMac is supposed to deliver on MOnday so I'll let you know what I think of it, but I know a lot of people around here have used it with success.
