[QUOTE="mwilson, post: 1560631, member: 318542"] 27" 2013 iMac came with 8GB ram (2x4GB) and the modules were in every other slot. I added 16GB (2x8GB) into the other slots and received 3 beeps. I then changed them such the 2 4G modules were together and the 2 8G modules were together. Here's the rub: Concerned with having them out of order because the 4G modules are single ranked and the 8G modules are dual ranked (it treats an 8 as if it where 2 4G sticks) Does the actual order of memory matter when mixing on the new iMac (may not have had the memory seated properly the first time.) I know you can have addressing and performance issues on some platforms if they are not matched. It seems to be working fine but I don't want to lose my Mega-hertz.. :) Thanks for your time and glad to be a new member here. [/QUOTE]
