Oct 14, 2015 8:25 AM in response to anshumgby superunison,I wish Apple would official let us know that the new iMac can support 16GB per slot on the new 5K iMac

Oct 14, 2015 9:35 AM in response to anshumgby ThePro PR,Can you still upgrade the RAM? Apple has been doing away with this with pretty much all their lines (Mac mini, MacBook) and from the pictures on the site I cant see the door on the back to add more RAM. Is there an official word on this?

The 27" is still user upgradable and says so int the tech specs.

I've never seen or heard of a 16 GB module; the highest I've seen are 8 GB.
And, for The Pro PR - the RAM in the 27" models can be user upgraded:

There are many Macs that work just fine on memory configurations "not officially supported".
The new 5K iMac is yet another (my early 2011 13" MacbookPro "officially" only supports
8 GB but has been running with 16GB for the last 3 years).
If you really want (and can afford it) get a full 64GB here:

Oct 14, 2015 8:55 PM in response to babowaby SlickRick,I pondered all day about buying the 32 gigs via 2-16gig modules. Very expensive at $599. At least I have the option down the road to order another 32 gigs when the prices go down. For now I'll have the 32 plus the 8gigs that will come with the computer.

Oct 14, 2015 9:04 PM in response to SlickRickby babowa,Too pricey for me - I'm also not quite that adventurous re. getting double the Apple recommended RAM, especially at that price...... enjoy yours!

Oct 14, 2015 9:12 PM in response to babowaby SlickRick,Thanks, I'll enjoy it painfully because it hurt buying that ram..lol Any problems i'll send it back.. OWC fully tested the ram and it's operation before releasing to the public. They already have their hands on a new computer and did a whole video on the teardown. If you order your iMac from the apple store with 32gigs of ram its almost the same price as the 2 - 16 gig chips.

Oct 14, 2015 9:17 PM in response to SlickRickby babowa,Yeah, OWC has always been my choice for RAM and hard drives and whatever else Mac.

Oct 15, 2015 7:22 AM in response to anshumgby superunison,I went back and forth on this. We decided to just get 32GB (4X8GB) from OWC for $264.
$599 was just too much for the same amount of RAM in the 16GB modules. Hopefully the price comes down for the 16GB modules and we can upgrade.
I think 32GB will do just fine for now.
The order for our new iMac was placed last night, can't wait.
