Hi, I've had my iMac for about 4 months now and have decided to upgrade my RAM as it is relatively cheap to do.
I've been watching videos on Youtube and it looks like an absolute breeze to do. My question is, I'm sure my iMac has 4Gb of RAM, and from the videos i've watched it looks like it comes in the form of 2 x 2gb sticks. But it appears to have 4 slots, can I just buy 2 more 2gb stick and slot them in along side my existing RAM? If so, could I perhaps buy 2 x 8 gb sticks to up my RAM to 12gb? OR do you have to used exactly the same RAM sticks for each of the slots? A little confused!!
