As soon as Leopard hits, I'm buying my wife a 24" iMac. When customizing them pre-purchase, you can include up to 4 gigs of RAM, but that adds $850 to the price, from the default of 1 gig.
However, I found a variety of places online that sell 4gb of compatible RAM for between $250 and $300. (example:

I know upgrading the RAM on PC's is no big deal, and now that iMac's are intel based, in THEORY it should be the same plug-and-play convenience...but I'm still wary, as all things Apple are a big unknown to me (this will be our first Mac).
Has anyone upgraded their iMac's (or any Mac, really) RAM? Anyone heard of any problems using aftermarket memory?
