[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1384753, member: 71075"] That's a tough one to answer. 2GB is probably fine for most people who don't tax their system although bumping yourself up to 4GB probably wouldn't hurt if your comfortable replacing your memory (it's not all that hard). You can search the manuals [URL="http://support.apple.com/manuals/"]here[/URL] (which includes memory replacement instructions) if you don't have the manual that came with your machine. It would appear that you have the early 2009 iMac. If so (the model ID of the early 2009 iMac is iMac9,1 which you can check by going to > About This Mac > More Info... > Hardware > Model Identifier), you're looking for "PC3-8500 1066mhz DDR3" memory. Your machine can support up to 8GB. [/QUOTE]
