Ozzy,
We all know the old adage, "You can never have too much RAM." However, think about whether you really need 4Gb....
Why do I say this? Well the iMac has two RAM slots, one of which will be occupied by the 1Gb chip you already have. To get 4Gb, you will need two 2Gb chips meaning you bin the RAM that you've already paid for with your iMac.
3Gb of RAM however could be had by simply adding a single 2Gb chip, which is obviously going to be half the cost!!
This is the configuration I have and can tell you that the machine absolutely screams along. I would venture that if you're unsure whether you need 4Gb, then 3Gb will serve you just as well.
If you subsequently find that the machine is slowing down - video editing or huge Logic files maybe, then you can always get the second chip. If not, then this will save you £40 - £50.
Just a thought
Cheers
Ginger
