I just ordered my base model iMac 27" and I want to upgrade the ram to 12gb. Which ram should I use? Looking for 2x4GB under $50. Links would be appreciated. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I just ordered the 8gb crucial ram kit from amazon for my upcoming 21" base model. $40 is cheaper than crucial website. I believe this will fit the 27" also.
Here is amazon link:

Hello guys.. A lots of envyI'm just planing..
How many is empty slots to ram upgrade in 27 inch model?
iMac have 4 slots for RAM. You have 2 used and 2 is free.
I got OEM type from OWC, now have 16GB in my 27", seems fast but Im sure the non-sammy RAM is also good, for few extra $ went with OEM
I ordered 2x4gb of crucial and have had no problems so far,you can go too there site and there is a scanner which will tell you what ram is compatible etc...
I got the absolute cheapest from amazon, no serial number on the sticks or nothing. Komputerbay 2x8 gb. Over the top I know, but now I'm settled for a lifetime of ram it seems. Although some people report stability issues, mine is stable as hell. 5/5 stars. http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-P...in-9-9-9-25/dp/B00698WP50/ref=pd_rhf_cr_p_t_1
They are double your price though. Sorry.
edit: i've ran the memory86 test also a couple of times. No errors. Also, no kernel panic.
