I have been all over websites for RAM for an Imac 24" intel (the new one) and I have come up with 200 and 240 pins. Some websites, when I plug in the type of computer, some say 200 some say 240, some say SODIMM some say SDRAM. I am so confused. The apple website doesn't say how many pins. Does anyone have the answer? :dummy:

DDR2 (PC2-5300) SDRAM

200-pin

and yes needs to be SO-DIMM SDRAM

You can max out @ 3 GBs...2GB stick in one slot, 1GB in the other.

Thank you so much. Too many conflicting sites.

It is really confusing because of Apple...they should be spanked!

This is what you should look at. This corrects the info I gave before...

So it takes the 200 pin then? I am confused. Does it say that you can use 200 pin with the SODIMM? I don't know the difference or understand the difference between SDRAM and SODIMM. Is SDRAM 240 pins and SODIMM 200?

Directing you back to your original thread:

Maximum RAM?

Generally, SDRAM is desktop and SO-DIMM is notebook RAM.
The iMacs use notebook components so the SO-DIMM is called for.

Okay, that makes sense but why does apple put in SDRAM when you upgrade the memory when purchasing the imac?
