iMac Newbie, Part 1: Memory!

iMac

So I received my iMac last week, on Monday. I was so happy it was Seth's holiday/school break, because I wasn't sure when exactly they would deliver the iMac. And imagine me missing the UPS guy?! Hell no! Maybe you've seen my photo report by now. If not, you still can, just go here.

For the next few... days, weeks, maybe even months (?) I'd like to tell you all about the experience I gained being on an iMac so far! The good stuff, the bad stuff, the dilemmas...

Today is about adding memory modules to the iMac!

Kingston memory modules

When I ordered the iMac, I also ordered extra RAM for the iMac. I ordered 2 modules of 4GB. And they arrived before the iMac did. So when the iMac arrived, the first thing I did after I had unpacked the box, was plug in the extra RAM! It was really easy, and I'd recommend this to anyone. If you buy an iMac through Apple, just keep it at 4GB and order more RAM yourself. Much cheaper. And let's not forget that we're allowed to do so. In the guide square booklet that looks nothing like a manual is a section about adding memory yourself.

Don't be scared, you can do it!
