[QUOTE="zarathu, post: 1270233, member: 138477"] Well.... Chscag seems to have a view point in conflict with the actual Apple Support page. The support document says that you must have two chips in the bottom slot, and you can have one chip in the top slot. If you have no chips in the bottom slot, that is fine, but you cannot have only one chip in the bottom slot. New macs come with no chips in the bottom slot, only chips in the top slot. If you want to add two chip, not a problem. But if you only want to add one chip, then you must move the two chips that apple puts in. After reading the support brief again several times its obvious. Now this is the the mid 2011 i5 and i7 imacs, only. Apparently it has to do with the 64 bit operation and the quad design of the cpu. [/QUOTE]
