The difference in >price makes wonder, do I need to beware of Memory-Up or is it just a good >deal? The supplier I usually use (datamem.com) notes that your iMac has two memory slots. The 144-pin SODIMM slot is "user friendly," the other slot is "not recommended." I see that Memory-Up and Crucial also say this. The "user friendly" slot is easy to spot when you remove the bottom cover. Getting to the other slot requires you to remove the motherboard to get to the slot on the other side. Datamem wants $69 for this part. I see that today Memory-Up also lists it for $69. Crucial is simply overpriced. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
