[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 881580, member: 56379"] You didn't mention the exact specs. of your two iMacs so I could look up what memory each one uses...but generally speaking, memory (ram) is not backwards compatible. From the looks of your 2 iMacs...the older one uses PC-5300 ram & the newer iMac uses PC-8500. This is just a guess, since I don't know the exact models you have. - Nick [/QUOTE]
