I'm confused by the description in the apple support notice(http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423):
"i5 and i7 Quad Core iMac computers come with both top memory slots populated. These computers will not start up if only a single DIMM is installed in any bottom slot; these computers should operate normally with a single DIMM installed in any top slot."
They are populated with 2-2gig chips. But if I want to add a 4 gig chip, the implication is that I cannot put it in one of theopen bottom slots. So to make sure that I don't have only one chip in the bottom slot, I would need to move one of the 2 gig chips that were pre installed, into a bottom slot to go along with the 4 gig chip I'm adding.
Is this correct??
