Subject: [CGUYS] Buying First MAC
I am planning to purchase an iMac for my wife. I have only owned PC's
since jobs was in the garage, and have a few hardware questions.
1.looks like 2 memory slots. does std DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300 ) ram fit,
or is it something that is mac only?
1a. can I put a 2g in one slot and a 1g in the other and the machine
will be happy and run on 3g?
You can install up to 3GB of PC2-5300 SO-DIMMs.
The newest iMacs (aluminum case) have a newer
Intel chipset that supports 4GB of RAM.
From <http://www.apple.com/imac/technology/storage.html>
Each iMac model comes with at least with 1GB of
RAM in the form of a single SO-DIMM module in
one of the two easily accessible memory slots,
which means it¹s a breeze to add more memory as
your needs change. The iMac can now accommodate
up to 4GB of RAM perfect for people who do a
lot of photo and video editing.
iMac uses one of the fastest memory technologies
available 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM which ensures
that the processor is constantly fed with data
and enables you to get as much performance from
your iMac as possible.
