I've recently bought Logic Pro 7 (woo hoo!) and I now need to upgrade my imac, which is currently running OS 10.2.8, to Panther or Tiger, and I also need to upgrade my RAM from 256 to 512. But it looks like this gonna cost about £200 from the Apple shop. So my question is: is there a cheaper way? Can I get these things second-hand? Are ther disadvantages?

Thanks a lot.

Chris

NEVER buy RAM from Apple save if you got the money, it'll be cheaper thru authorized dealers, and even cheaper thru mail order/webshops.

Now, assure yourself before that the RAM is Apple compatible (that is, they warrant it) and of the return policy!!!

Hey glinka. I've purchased RAM a number of times through Other World Computing (it's in the USA, and I'm in Canada). Their prices are competitive and they seem to back up what they sell. They have a great RAM selector process by which you choose your model and it shows you the various types of RAM that will work with it. Check through the various makes available as the price can vary greatly simply by the "name" brand.

I now need to upgrade my imac, which is currently running OS 10.2.8, to Panther or Tiger, and I also need to upgrade my RAM from 256 to 512.

Which iMac? There are 7 different families of iMac with 7 different types of RAM.
Highly recommend you get the maximum RAM your machine can take.
Crucial and Orca are 2 web-based sellers who serve the UK, if you are located there
Thanks

For audio apps I suggest at least 1GB RAM, 512 MB is barely enough to run the OS, and will result in the OS accessing your system disk more, for virtual memory.

Gdoubleyour is dead right OS X coughs on 512 MBn holds the system fine on 712 MB, starts to breath from 1 GB on, screams with MORE. always have at least 1 GB or more. And the more the better especially if you use a lot of plug-ins, samples or virtual instruments.

I'd say (provided you can have them) a reasonable music setup should have between 1,5 and 2,5 GB of RAM.
