RAMSeeker shows prices more or less comparable to OWC. <http://www.ramseeker.com/memory/iMac_KITS/> These are for TWO 2Gb sticks. Is it possible you were looking at the price for a 4Gb stick? I know OWC offers a 6Gb kit for laptops which is $400+ because it consists of a 2Gb and a 4Gb stick and the 4Gb are obscenely expensive because they are new/rare/really hard to produce. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
