[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1811354, member: 40791"] Hi everyone I ordered my iMac with 8GB (2x4GB) of RAM, but took the early opportunity to buy some more Crucial RAM. I ordered another 8GB, thinking I'd ordered 2x4GB sticks, but when it arrived today it was just the one 8GB stick. Anyway, I've popped it in and the machine recognises it just fine. My query is though, is it OK using RAM in this configuration (i.e. 2x4gb, 1x8gb and 1x empty slot)? Will ordering another 8GB stick, giving me 24GB in total, be a viable option, or should I return the RAM and get 2x4GB sticks? Thanks :-) Just realised that after nearly 12 years on the forum this is my 1,000th post!!! When should I expect my long service award to arrive? [/QUOTE]
