<Well, the price of my imac was $1499 but the RAM is $430 and> Let me pass on my standard advice on shopping for memory--see www.ramseeker.com for comparison of a number of dealers. Right now, they are showing prices as low as $337 for the 2 GB kit you specified--including shipping. This site also offers "price trend graphs" on the menu toward the top of the page--and your kit took a nice price drop in early Oct., then four small ones since then. Obviously, this is no prediction of the future, since a problem in one fab can kick prices up worldwide, overnight. Enjoy! Steve in Raleigh
