Hi there!

I own a 20" iMac with 768MB ram.
I'd like to upgrade my ram to higher, but I don't want change from the user slot. I'd like to change the factory slot ram to 1Gb and some company selling it.
I found one company here who'll change it for me without lose my warranty.
So, Has somebody got this factory slot ram? Does it works well?

cheers

I think each slot only allows 512 mb of memory

The original Apple specifications for your computer state that each memory slot can only hold a 512mb chip, but you can actually expand beyond that with the some of the newer chips on the market. A 1Gb chip is now possible for each slot.

Companys like Crucial sell PC2100/2700/3200 1Gb chips that will fit. You need the "128mb x 64" type configuration. About $250 for the Apple DIMM slot and $400 for the user SODIMM slot.

Hi skirbomatic!

Thx for quick msg mate!
I read everything about this and found another company where cheaper it, http://www.transintl.com/store/categ...?Category=2448
Just I'd like to know somebody has got it + using it for a while. I don't know it's worth or not.
Because I've got 512 MB ram in the user slot and if change that one to 1GB what I'll do with 512Mb ram. I can't sell it on good price
That's why I'm thinking to change the factory slot ram.
