Just bought a new 17" iMac G5 (the one with the isight) a week ago, but I started to notice that 512MB definetely was not enough ram for me. I decided to buy another 512MB of ram, but buying directly from Apple costs $100 for a mere 512MB . Looked on newegg and found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820161401. A 512MB stick of RAM from crucial for only $50. It fits all the requirements that are stated on the Apple support site, but the price is a bit low, so I'm suspicious that it won't work in an iMac. Do you guys think that it will work?

The specs are correct, so it should work.

The same RAM from Crucial (with a compatibility guarantee) is $61.17.

Consider buying a one-gig stick -- ram is one of those things where if a little helps a little, a lot will help a lot. Plus, if you do want to upgrade later you're stuck with a 512.
