Best Mac RAM

TheMagicPirate · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:38

OK, I'm buying this iMac

I'm '..' this close to buying the 2.8Ghz iMac. And I need a few things confirmed.

I'm looking about for extra RAM on the net and wondering which is best?
Kingston? Crucial? Back Door Bobs Cheap-o Ram?

Also, what screen is regarded as the best? Glssy or Matt, I assume this is an option you chose in the checkout?

Thanks

Crucial for peace of mind - guaranteed compatability. Not always the cheapest though compared to Apple they are. Grubbing for a few extra pennies at the low end of the mem market makes no sense.

Crucial or Kingston is fine usually go for the former

You can't choose between screens they only come in glossy.

Thanks Guys, Crucial it is.

Keep your old RAM sticks in case something goes wrong and you have to return it.

Wait, im sure my macbook (New santa rosa) ...does not have a glossy screen....- if it did it would have kind of plasticy/glassy finish on it?...Mines just the screen (gets dirty) ....
