I have a first generation 24" Intel aluminum iMac (with the black back, not the 
aluminum back).

It is the mid 2007 model with the optional 2.8 ghz CPU on the Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_(Intel-based)#Aluminum_iMac

The machine is said to support only 4GB and I ordered it with 2GB chips in each 
of its 2 memory slots.

Recently I called Apple and they gave me the official position: no upgrade 
possible on this machine. Still, I'm wondering if it is possible to put 2x4GB 
chips in it to speed up the VirtualBox VMs I use with it...

Here, it says "actual max RAM" is 6GB:

"*Apple officially supports 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to 
upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module."

Any idea on the subject ?
