I didn't try to save any money on the RAM really. I am pretty certain the source is good, they sell RAM specifically for Macs and not at any significantly lower rate.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/19/04 09:29PM >>> Hi, 99.999% of the time it is NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE! The issue is ram density! Order some ram from crucial, or any ram vendor listed on "www.ramseeker.com" If the ram is too dense, the iMac (rev A-rev D) will not recognize it. Pay a few extra bucks and your 256MB per slot will work as 256MB.
