I know exactly how to do it, I was just wondering how much two 8gb chips would cost (In the UK) and if the motherboard would actually recognize them.
All help appreciated
Two 8gb chips would equal 16gb......
I seen that myself the other day when I ordered my own 4GB kit for my 2.4GHz Alu iMac for just £39.09. Given the performance increase, or lack of depending on who you listen to, between DDR2 and DDR3 you've got to admit it's a hell of a lot of money for memory.
Those two memory chips cost over £200 than I paid for my iMac itself.
Well i'll be getting myself a 4bg upgrade foy my '09 imac in the near future. I think it's £60 for the ddr3 kit.
The 8gb memory is definatly not worth the cost at the moment imo but i will be watching the prices closely for when it reaches a decent price.
Same here, just not worth the hefty price at present and all past trends indicate the upgrade will be a lot cheaper in the future.
