Other World Computing (OWC) announced the immediate availability of the OWC Memory Upgrade Kits from 8GB to 32GB for 2013 iMac 27" models that became available yesterday. OWC's kits offer memory configurations not offered by the factory as well as savings of more than $240 compared to same-size factory options.

Upgrading the memory of this iMac is a low-cost improvement that gives Apple's latest OSX - including the upcoming Mavericks release - the space it needs for maximum performance.

Just like the original 2012 model, a memory access panel on the rear of the 2013 model iMac 27" provides access to the RAM slots. Adding more memory simply involves installing new modules into the memory slots and reinstalling the access panel.

New iMac owners seeking to max-out the RAM can select the $359.00 32GB OWC memory upgrade and save over $240 compared to the 32GB factory cost of $600. For even more savings, iMac owners can trade-in the two factory base 4GB memory modules.
