If you bought yourself a nice new quad-core iMac and your looking to max out the RAM, you may notice that Apple charges almost as much as you paid for the machine itself. $1400 to be exact. 4GB sticks of DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) are not cheap, but I can tell you that you can find them for a bit less than the $350 a piece Apple charges.
- [G.SKILL - F3-8500CL7S-4GBSQ] Running $169.99 a piece, these quality sticks are $150 cheaper then Apple’s stock selection. If you max out your iMac with these it will set you back $680, about $800 cheaper than Apple’s 16GB offering.
- [Mushkin - Enhanced Essentials 996644] You can get a pair of 4GB sticks (8GB) from Mushkin for $334.99. That means if you wanted a full 16GB you could do it for about $670, $800 cheaper than Apple.
- [RamJet -MBALX4G] At $699.99, This 16GB set from Ramjet is slightly more expensive then the previous two. Quality between these three manufactures differs very little.
