Buying RAM from Apple is akin to taking half the money you pay and shredding it.LJ Thank you so much... that cleared up a lot for me and has made me rethink my digital work flow.
I just ordered a 4gb DDR2 SO-DIMM 800mhz memory package that should be here in 7-10 days. I called my local Apple Store first on this to get the memory but they no longer stock DDR2 memory just DDR3. My machine is a iMac 8,1 bought April 09 .... seem's like a mighty new machine to have no stock store items already but that is another topic. Anyway they referred me to the phone apple store and they wanted $200 for 4 gig's of memory. This seemed high and I researched it at a computer supply store and was right.... I got it there for $100 less total with free shipping. Could of even paid less at some online supply houses but I prefer to buy from a brick and mortar store when possible.
Thanks again for all the assistance....... hard to teach old dogs new tricks
I also stopped by Borders for a Aperture 3 instructional course book so as to keep my dumb questions to a minimum
I just ordered 8G RAM for a new Mac Mini: from Apple it would have cost $500 to add that to the order, from Other World Computing I bought it for $219.
Apple is not the place to go to buy hard drives or RAM.
