[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1617144, member: 175845"] Interesting memory info for those iMac5, 1 models, even to the point of confusing. Especially when I read some almost contradictory info, and bold is mine: " The "Late 2006" iMac models have the same memory limitations as the "Late 2006" MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" models. Ultimately, 4 GB of RAM may be installed, but not all RAM in excess of 3 GB can be used due to the possibility of memory "overlap". [I][B]Nevertheless, in a series of tests, site sponsor Other World Computing found that most -- but not all -- tasks are faster in these systems with 4 GB of RAM installed compared to the official maximum of 3 GB of RAM.[/B][/I] " [url]http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/faq_cd/imac-intel-how-to-upgrade-memory.html[/url] Sorry Margaret, but you did ask… ;) but I hope we didn't scare you off. ;) [/QUOTE]
