[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 436383, member: 26315"] 1. Yes it can be replaced. As far as I know all ram modules can be replaced. 2. According to mac tracker your imac has the following 2 ram slots: PC2700 200-pin SO-DIMM (user accessible) PC2700 184-pin SDRAM (Factory Installed) And it says the maximum ran you can have in it is: 2.0 GB actual 1.0 Apple So by that definition you can have 2 GB of ram in your mac. 1 GB from apple in it's factory installed slot and 1 GB you add yourself. I think. I'm not sure if that factory Ram can be removed. I'm pretty sure it can be though. And Apple says this here about your mac's memory. [url]http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMac_USB_2_0.html[/url] 256MB of PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM; supports up to 1GB So hmmm I think even if 1.0 GB is the max memory you can have. Having 1.25 GB of ram in your machine shouldn't affect it at all. Cause only 1 GB of it will be accessed by the machine and the last 0.25 GB will be just forgoten about. Well I think that's how it works. Anyone want to confirm of deny this? 3. If you're in the US a store called Newegg has been suggested here many times. I don't live in the US so I'm just taking the words of the members here. [/QUOTE]
