Hey guys

I need 2 x 2gb DDR3 1066/1333mhz so-dimm ram to upgrade the current memory in my iMac.

Just wondering where I can buy some cheap ram sticks if anyone knows a place online or in Brisbane QLD.
Not to fused about the brand of the ram either.

Thanks

    Is the Mac fussy on what type of RAM it takes?

    Cos I've got some 2x2GB ram sticks that I've taken out of my Thinkpad but it's rated at 1333mhz.

      The type it takes is so-dimm ram..what brand is the ram you have btw and also how old is it? thanks

        So-Dimm just refers to the difference between laptop (so-dimm) and desktop (Dimm) as far as i know. What you have to watch out for is the difference between normal ram, and 'sdram', which I think have different pin spacing. Not sure what the technological difference is but it's caught me out before.

          Ah yes that does make sense Riczter, the iMac takes DDR3 ram (normal ram pretty much).

    Head down to your local MSY!

    • PLA74 on 04/08/2013 - 14:39

      Ok I shall! Is their customer service good, coz I have never personally been there myself (mainly bought stuff from UMart in the past)

      • Riczter on 04/08/2013 - 15:21

        No their customer service is generally appalling, but they have the best prices ;)

        • PLA74 on 04/08/2013 - 16:45

          No thanks for the heads up, I'll check their brand and prices on the website and then go to their store!

      • p1 ama on 04/08/2013 - 16:59

        It's not THAT bad, but don't go there expecting them to treat you like a king. It's a no-frills experience. Know what you want, come there, order it, pay - just think of it as ordering fast food really.

        • PLA74 on 04/08/2013 - 17:35

          Ok fair enough, I'll go down to their store tomorrow. Thanks!

          do you want chips with that?

          (silicon chips)
