Long story short:
New iMac 27" (Nov. 2011) had 1067 Mhz Ram installed instead of the 1333 Mhz that is specified. Also, those two DIMMs that made up the default 4GB were from two manufacturers. (***)
Naturally I only discovered this after trying two different sets of DIMMs while trying to upgrade to 8GB. The Apple store fixed the problem, but I had to bring my 30 pounder into the store... in the mall... on a rainy Saturday... two weeks before Christmas (ouch-crowded).
Moral: Make sure you got what what you paid for.
Thanks for listening.
