Machine Ships with 512k

I don't want to pay Apple prices for ram. Any recommendations for quality ram?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that its best to match the 2 chips. Will I suffer performance if I buy a 1gig stick and put it next to the 512 from Apple?

Thanks.

Check newegg.com for ram prices, they have had some really good prices lately. For example a 1 gig chip of Corsair ValueSelect PC3200 400 unbuffered C3 for only $95. Great price for good ram that works fine in the Mac.

Yes your iMac will work just fine with a 1 gig chip in with the original 512 chip.

Crucial makes really nice RAM, a 1 Gig stick for the iMac cost me around $120 after tax/shipping about 2 weeks ago. Not the cheapest but good price for a non-generic.
