[QUOTE="prostuff1, post: 111013, member: 8819"] i am waiting for the parents to get home so i can show them all the new things with the computer. The only thing i may have screwed up on was when i ordered the memory from newegg. I researched and came to the conclusion that the ram i ordered would fit but i opened up the back of the iMac and found the ram is very close to each other. I know the ram i ordered has heatspreaders on it and i know think that it will not fit. I would put the ram in another computer if i had one, but i don't so that is not an option. So can i take the heatspreaders off the ram?? Guess i didn't do enough research :( [/QUOTE]
