The 2x4GB Crucial RAM kit arrived the day after Easter, and was immediately installed (by the way, though the 21.5" iMac is a touch heavy to swing around, it has very sharp edges in places..)
I was expecting to feel the same kind of boost as the 512MB upgrade gave to Hege's machine, but it wasn't until I ran Virtualbox that the additional 8GB was really taken into use. Both Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 8 Preview ran faster, but I found the latter to be so uninspiring, it was removed. Guess I've never been a Windows fan..
A few days later the 1x2GB RAM replacement card for my old 20" iMac arrived from Apple - a quarter the capacity of the Crucial kit for twice the price! One day people will catch on. The 4GB RAM total only made use of 3GB as expected, but it was good to get the useable 512MB back, even though the price galls me every time I think about it.
In fact, I've removed the iPad 3 from my list! Who needs a tablet..?
