So today they released the new iMac. Still no reviews so I have no clue whether I was right or wrong about the chipset. So I've started looking into another pet topic of mine: RAM. I really would like these machines to take a bucket-load of RAM, but Apple still limits themselves to 16GB.

OWC shipped 32GB kits for the last version, and in this blog comment they confirm they expect it to work well on the current iMac as well. In fact, they already sell 32GB kits for the 27" iMacs, but at almost $3000!

So far I haven't seen people report on the previous generation iMac any brand of RAM that would supposedly work but didn't, and Amazon has a kit for $817 that I would expect to work. But no reports yet, so this'll have to be investigated.

Update: Disregard the amazon-link, the iMacs need 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM running at 1333 Mhz. The Amazon link was 240-pin

Hi, I'm a new co-author to this blog and early music is quite new to me although i have played it all my life. I am mostly puzzled, stupiefied and amazed by the things possible (and impossible) in early music and i hope my startlement will only increase as more early music reveals itself before my anxious eyes and fingers.

I'm actually an organist that recently threw my energy on the harpsichord. I now play many kinds of music with many different people. I'm happy to discover that many techniques used on the organ can be used on the harpsichord too (and many cannot - still happy, and learning). I hope you will find your time to comment and discuss my following post on these and many other matters concerning early music.

Happy blogging

I'm looking forward to trying out the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens I ordered today. I finally found a review of it, and it sounds good. After reading a bunch of reviews of the Tamron 28-75, I've decided that it'll replace my trusty Canon 28-80mm f/3.5-4.5.

The new harpsichord at school has arrived. Due to what's called a wormhole in the wood, I'm calling him (it's CLEARLY a male instrment) Grima. Weee!! He sounds great. Now we just have to put the old one into shape.
