[QUOTE="parrotfish, post: 1773955, member: 396271"] I have a late 2009 iMac, 21.5", 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo with a measly 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 ram (i bought it used a few years ago for like $250). As you can guess, processes are very bogged down. Anyway, i'm on MacSales.com wanting to upgrade my RAM with some OWC chips. I was wondering if it would be better to upgrade all 4 memory slots (4 gb each) for a total of 16 gb memory, which is the limit for this model--or if I should just go with two 4gb for the two open slots i have available. I suppose what i'm asking is if it will really make a huge difference in tasks from 12 gb to 16... Thanks [/QUOTE]
