[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1719128, member: 56379"] Go to Everymac.com or OWC (macsales.com) to confirm the ram needed. As far as 32gig of ram. This is more than most folks need. 16gig would probably be plenty.:) [COLOR=#333333][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]That's because you don't understand what's going on.;) Back in 2011 8gig ram modules were not available (only 4gig DIMMS)…which means 4 slots x 4gig = 16gig. When 8 DIMMS became available…folks tested them…and found they worked in 2011 iMac's. Thus 4 slots x 8gig = 32gig. This sort of thing has happened many times over the last 10 years with various model computers. Consider it a bonus…absolutely nothing to do with "counter to good product advertising"!;) - Nick[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
