MAC questions

[JBLUE]

I have not needed to upgrade mine but for 93 bucks why not....

[Gilligan]

You completely missed my point.

It should only be $84 bucks.

You are paying $10 bucks for ZILCH!

Why not send me a $10 spot on top of that for "saving" you so much money.

[JBLUE]

Actually I did not. For the time it would take me to spend trying to save that 10 bucks looking on google I could have ordered it and made double or triple that amount. I liken it to the same philosophy of driving all the way across town to save 3 cents per gallon of gas.

I don't buy my RAM from Mac sites, they're just waiting for you. It's been a while, but I think the last place I used was called RAMJet, fair price, shipped right away.

You did see that I posted TWO links.  One was "regular" ram at $84 bucks and the other was the exact same ram labeled "mac ram" at $94 bucks.

Saving you almost HALF of what that company that Dennis posted was trying to sell you that ram for.

I have two sticks of these unopened I purchased as back ups recently. It seems to have the same specs but not sure of the pin count for the MAC hopefully its the same that would give me 16gig RAM today.

Mike, I believe that there are only two slots for RAM on iMac.
You can not add 2 extra sticks to the 2 you already have.

BTW, those are regular tower/desktop RAM sticks that will not fit in the iMacs. They take smaller laptop memory.

Just got back from New Haven Apple store, wow what an experience this place was! It is dead center of Yale so you can imagine what the crowd was like and busier than star bucks right next door was. Yet the second we walked in we had an associate helping us. Bought the IMAC 21.5, upgraded to 2.7Ghz   1TB drive and 8 gig RAM plus the graphic card. Bought Fusion right there as well! All purchased and the guy says want to set it up quick, huh? I am like how liong will that take, thinking hour plus, nope he said ten minutes tops. Sure enough un packed up and running in less than ten, set up my IMAP emails in 10 seconds, set up my Icloud which i already have through my Ipad. Meanshile as pretty as the Macs are in the store my eyes were about to come out of my head with the women from Yale walking around wow!

I like our 27 inch iMac and our MacBook Pro, but I just can't seem to get any real work done on them.  I had to stick to PC's for work.  Best of luck though, they are great machines not a doubt about it.

Next question how can I set up my extra 24" monitor for dualies?

[Denis Kolar]

I believe that you can not

At least, older iMacs did not have that option. That is only on Macs with towers

[Denis Kolar]

I take that back, just search for :
can you add an extra monitor to an imac

I guess you can add the extra monitor now, I was not able to do it on mine.

Next question how can I set up my extra 24" monitor for dualies?

You can, its a special cable I believe though from Apple.  Probably rape ya for it.  LOL.

You can use Thunderbolt connection port to connect to the monitor with HDMI port (The easiest way)
Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=thunderbolt+hdmi+adapter&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=7281295208&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=51554869342706913&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_7bdjz2zxv8_b

Or if you buy Thunderbolt to VGA cable:
