Memory maker Trans Intl. has announced 1GB memory upgrades for the latest revisions to Apple’s iMac. With these memory upgrades in place, users can have up to 2GB of memory installed — twice the memory capacity specified by Apple’s own documentation.
The new DDR333 memory upgrade work on the 15-inch 1GHz Combo Drive-equipped iMac, the 17-inch 1.25GHz Superdrive-equipped system and the brand new 20-inch 1.25GHz Superdrive-equipped system that just debuted earlier this week.
iMacs come equipped with two memory slots — one is the User slot and the other is the Factory slot. Apple specifies that each slot can accommodate a 512MB memory chip, for a total of 1GB. These chips conform to Apple’s own electrical and mechanical design guidelines, however, which means that users can expand memory to a total of 2GB.
Trans Intl. sells the 1GB memory upgrades for User Slots for US$569 each. The 1GB upgrade for Factory Slots costs $219.
