I think the max is 4. Depends on how old the iMac is, the very new ones that just came out, 24" can handle 8 i think.

Depends on which 'previous' iMac you are talking about. The manual/guide that came in the box will tell you. Lowend mac should have you model listed with the maximum RAM listed.

Even if you could go to 8GB, you could expect to spend a lot. With two slots, you would have to buy 2x4GB and 4GB sticks are nowhere near cheap.
