Best Price For New iMac's Ram?
Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of getting a new iMac and wanted to find the best price for it's memory. I'm looking at getting 4GB but finding it hard to find the memory let alone a good deal.
The SO-DIMM 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM spec ram is still pretty new so is there anywhere close to the Melbourne CBD people can recommend I try?
Any online stores people can also recommend?
Thanks everyone.

Maybe not the best price, but the best service I've ever had.
OWC. Prices in $USD.
4.0GB Kit (2.0GB+2.0GB) PC2-6400 DDR2 800... (6400DDR2S4MP) at OWC
This will be under $200 AUD as well. |

Add it to your basket. Then you can tell it to ship to Australia using FedEx, UPS, etc... very good rates even factoring in shipping. You will get it in a few days (fast!).
I have ordered RAM off them on two occasions now.
If the RAM is bad, they will replace it. Yes, send it back, they'll swap it.

But that's not SO-DIMM, which is what the iMac uses (i.e. laptop RAM).
I thought you needed 200-pin 800 MHz SO-DIMMs.

Like decryption said, some good quality OCZ ram isn't a bad price.
I found some 2GB sticks at OCZ 2048MB PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM RAM - 5-5-5-15 (76816 | OCZ2M8002G) | Techbuy Australia for $75. They are CL5 too.
some real dirty cheapos can be had closer to the $60 mark, but I wouldn't go near them.
Holy moly - check out this ebay dude's store: eBay Australia Shop - fastmemoryman: DDR RAM, SODIMM, DDR2 SODIMM
2gb sticks for $30.
some brand name stuff in there too for cheap.

Note - he's selling PC5400 667MHz SO-DIMM RAM.
The recently updated iMacs (2.4 - 3.06 GHz) use PC6400 800MHz SO-DIMM RAM.
Caveat Emptor, as always.
