I think it's always been exceptionally cheaper to buy RAM separate
from your Apple purchase but that was when you could keep your
standard RAM chips and add in extra ones yourself. I think the iMac

Try a good burst of WD40 or some other lubricant of similar purchase,

STOP THERE :
WD40 is good for getting rid of moisture , BUT with it's oil content
it's not so good for electrical contacts.
But the idea is well founded ... just use a different product .

Hi WAMUGers
Looking at buying an iMac for xmas.
It comes with 2? ram slots and 1 x 512 module installed I think.

I can get 2 x 1GB modules for $189 each ( and I guess I throw the 512 one
away).
Is this the best way to go in your opinion please?

Rod,
The new iMac has only one spare memory slot. The 512MB is on the
board, so the max you can install is 512MB + 2GB (DDR2 SDRAM
(PC2-4200)). You can do this via 'build-to-order'.
