[QUOTE="sylvesterp3, post: 1419401, member: 259441"] I got a 27 inch iMac 3.1 i5 with 4GB (2x2GB) of memory and just purchased an additional 16GB (2x8GB). I never want to go slow and I like running Lightroom and Photoshop and other stuff at once... According to the specs the computer maxes out at 16GB but there are four slots in the machine ao I am thinking of using them all. What happens when I install all of it to make it a total of 20GB??? Will it not read some of it? Do I risk ruining the memory chips??? Seriously? Any power power users out there that have done it? If you ask why I need so much memory - the answer is it's really cheap. Why not. I got Crucial and probably should've gone with OWS (way cheaper) but wasn't convinced. Any comments and insight appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
