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

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

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.

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 Trevor CanadaRAM

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. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home BOING BUMM TSCHAK PENG!
