This is a surprise. Apple memory costs less. (Assuming you're getting the memory when you order the iMac).
2Gb $175
3Gb $750

I used to assume that Apple always would have the highest priced memory around.

It is amazing that Apple is cheaper.

The pricing anomaly is caused by the extremely high prices for 2 GB memory sticks.
For example, Crucial wants $1650 for a single 2GB stick! That price is up from $1400 2 weeks ago.

I ordered my iMac 24-inch with 2GB and will upgrade to 3 GB when the price is more reasonable.
