We want to max out our new iMac at the office with (2) 1GB SODIMMs, but as far as I can tell nobody has these things. We tried Crucial, Kingston, Chip Merchant, all the Mac sites and our local Apple Store.

I was hoping we could use this thread to tip each other off until the chips are less scarce.

This is what we're looking for... in the 1GB variety: DDR2 PC2-5300 200-PIN SODIMM

www.outpost.com has Mushkin sticks for 67.99 I called friday and they said the ETA on those was the 25th of this month.

Crucial has them for considerably more, but I still think they're not there yet. You can phone in an order w/ them even though you cannot place it online.

People have reported success calling Crucial instead of going through the website.

MORT A POTTY: I don't see any 1GB DDR2-667 SO-DIMMs at outpost.com.

Thanks Mort

I just got my new 20" iMac Duo today and seems like everyone is out.. Not familiar with the Mushkin ram.. have you used this brand before? Quite a price difference between them and Crucial.

[MORT A POTTY]

Mushkin is a fine brand of RAM. I've not personally used them before, but they have a pretty damn good rep.

I've used Mushkin for years (in intel based PC's) and have NEVER had a problem. I think you will be very satisfied. Service and support are fantastic.

Thanks for the quick response Mort... looks like there's and $80 difference for 2 gigs between Crucial and Mushkin.. This darn iMac Duo is practically begging for more ram! My local Apple store was out too.

memory2go.com claims to have 1GB sticks in stock for $106 ea.. I just orderded 2 of them, I'll let you know what my experience is like.
