Happy Valentine's!
Nothing says "I love you" more than the gift of additional RAM.
What I never noticed until now is that Dave and I share most of the same specs on our machines even though he has a MacBook Pro that was purchased several months ago. Same processor and speed, same desktop resolution, and now the same amount of memory- although I'm sure he didn't have to chuck a GB of perfectly good Hynix RAM that came with his machine.
I'll see if I can Craig's list the OEM memory but prices have dropped even further since the last time I checked. 4 GB's at Crucial only cost me $113.99 this week. Interestingly, Apple's online store charges an additional $850 for the same amount of RAM configured with a new iMac. Ouch!

Did you install the ram yourself? I haven't actually tried to open my IMac, but if you did, where/how did you do it? I was thinking of taking mine in for more ram sometime soon.
Krudd, although Apple recommends you take it to an authorized service dealer, it's incredibly easy to install the RAM yourself. I just had to review the online PDF manual. I would say it took me three minutes tops.
