Yes, You put a 4GM module in one slot and a 2GB module int he other to get 6GB. If you reverse them, you only get 2GB. This might be wrong, or it might be referring to either a specific machine or an earlier machine, I just seem to recall there was at least a time when this was the case. I have a niggling suspicious this was a laptop with an Apple 2GB maximum that was actually a 3GB maximum if you arranged the memory right, but it is something to be aware of. One other thing, is that the RAM access on the iMac is supposed to be quite easy, but I found it impossible to remove one of the screws on the only intel iMac I ever replaced RAM on. I ended up having to bend the panel around to insert the RAM and then bend it back. Be careful no to strip the screws. -- One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
