When your new Mac arrives, as part of the initial setup process it  
will ask you if there is any information from your previous Mac you'd  
like to transfer. Link the two machines by Firewire, specify what  
you'd like to have transferred, and it will all be handled  
automatically.

I've never had a problem with 1-800-4-MEMORY (aka Coast to Coast).  
Over the last five years they've sent me ONE incorrect module, which  
I returned/exchanged with no fuss.
