want to get 4gb memory for new imac 20 inch intel duo desktop.
toffs at apple store scorned my phonecall today about being able to get unbuffered 4gb memory for €100 online- (from crucial.com) because its 'unbuffered' ergo 'shit and slow'.
compared to their la de da kingston memory (apple approved) which is fully buffered and wont cause any problems in the future (and costs near €500 for 4gb if i get it from their apple shop)
so i looked on the kingston website and they actually reccommend memory for the imac which is very similar to the crucial memory and about the same price (€100) which is also 'unbuffered'.
ive read abit about fully buffered memory and i get the impression that fully buffered is for huge servers etc whilst a personal desktop just really needs unbuffered?
anyone any opinions/more knowledge on this area?
im using my computer to run adobe photoshop cs3, lightroom and prodution premium cs3 and will be processing shit loads of RAW photo images on the computer.
thanks
