[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1617129, member: 42497"] Ahem...3GB it is even EveryMac mentions slotting in 4GB, will only read and use 3GB. [B][COLOR="Blue"]Rather unusually -- for the "iMac (Late 2006)" models -- Apple notes that: Although these iMacs will accept up to a 2 GB SO-DIMM in each of the two memory slots, the iMac will only support 3 GB total memory. If you want to maximize the amount of SDRAM in your computer, install a 2 GB SO-DIMM in one slot and a 1 GB SO-DIMM in the other. . .
