I've been searching for a memory upgrade for iMac for several months. I just had not yet pulled the trigger on the order. It was about $60 US at crucial.com last I looked. After listening to SWMBO complain again this weekend, I took a look today and ordered a 2GB kit for under $30. That should improve things. Don't understand why they can't add the proper amount of memory for a standard machine. Only allows unknowing folks to complain.
