[QUOTE="pedropete, post: 1227550, member: 172156"] OK Guys-thanks again. I was perusing the manual that came with my new iMac21.5" and from a cursory look I had mistaken the RAM upgrade for the hard drive in the method of fitting the manual shows can be done by even un-skilled techies ! So - changing the internal hard drive is obviously a different matter, essentially done by trained technicians ! Is it in that case-better to stick with my original 500gb-and just use external drives to boost the native memory ? [B][U][I]FINAL QUESTION - for now![/I][/U][/B] On this subject - my 1st iMac-the 24" in question here - has a strange 'additional' amount of memory - as well as the 500gb core, it also has 138gb's - from where I can not fathom ! Any ideas on this anomaly ? I have 2 other Macs with 500gb internal hard drives-and they are both the standard 500gb's....:| I remember at first getting confused with the 'Macintosh Hard Disc' - and the 'Start Up disc' - what is the difference please ? I don't seem to have this distinction on my other 2 Macs with 500gb hard drives.... :| [/QUOTE]
