Before you do that, you might want to check the loaded memory 
configuration before you order to make sure the four slots aren't 
filled with 4 x 2GB cards. That was how my iMac arrived from Apple. 
When your new machine check that out.

Also compare OWC's prices and consider that they take use memory in trade.

They also give you a step by step install instructions.
