[QUOTE="DaYCEnt, post: 410864, member: 27510"] looking to upgrade my RAM. my wife's schooling hasn't reached the CAD or graphics phase yet, so I'm only gaming as far as hard processing goes. from what I understand, the iMac will HOLD 4Gb of RAM, but only use 3. (that sucks) so my questions are: 1) would the Dual Channel 'affect' of a matched pair of 2x2Gb sticks work better than a mismatched 2Gb & 1Gb stick upgrade? 2) specs on the site and on my comp say DDR2 667... where does the 5300 and the 5400 differ (if even noticeable) and finally, would a DDR2 800 work?? i feel like i should know these answers, but too much to do to dig enough to reteach myself everything...
