Which RAM is it?

soul60s said:

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

240-pin

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

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?

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