[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1842596, member: 56379"] Sometimes it's not the RAM speed...sometime's it's also the design of the RAM. That little notch where the RAM stick pins are is sometimes put in a different position with different types of RAM...to prevent the use/insertion of the wrong RAM into the wrong/incompatible computer. There's also a lot of time between a 2009 Mac-Mini and a 2012 iMac. If would be cool if the 2012 iMac RAM worked in a 2009 Mac-mini. Backwards compatability is usually very difficult to find...especially between computers that are this far apart in age. - Nick [/QUOTE]
