Clueless RAM Upgrade Question, is there a cheaper way to upgrade RAM? Options

[glinka]

I've recently bought Logic Pro 7 (woo hoo!) and I now need to upgrade my imac, which is currently running OS 10.2.8, to Panther or Tiger, and I also need to upgrade my RAM from 256 to 512. But it looks like this gonna cost about £200 from the Apple shop. So my question is: is there a cheaper way? Can I get these things second-hand? Are ther disadvantages?

Thanks a lot.

Hot is not "too hot" if the computer stays running. Modern computers do generate a large amount of heat.

Do not use third party software that changes the way your macbook maintains its own temperature. These will only increase fan speed and noise with no benefit to your computer's operation.

There are already very smart systems and sensors in your macbook that WILL turn the computer OFF if it gets "too hot"

btw. Apple and Dell ect. stopped calling them "laptops" a long time ago largely because they WILL get too hot to comfortably use on your lap.

if your Mac malfunctions when it's at normal operating temperature (normal being any temperature in which the Mac is NOT shutting itself down) you have faulty electronics. If your mac IS shutting down when it gets hot , you may have something wrong with the fan.
