2020 iMac 27" RAM Upgrade Question. Are all "2666Mhz" RAMs automatically "PC4-21333"

Theoretically all SO-DIMM PC4-21333 2666MHz 260-pin unbuffered non-parity memory is compatible, but it doesn't quite work that way in practice.

Still, if you stay away from the budget tiers/brands you will probably be OK... its just that Crucial and OWC have long consistent brand histories and are considered the lowest risk.

Please on purchase RAM from crucial.com or Mac sales.com, iMacs are very sensitive to using quality RAM and both of these vendors supply very high quality products at fair prices. They both offer lifer time warranties and have great service, in short there is no reason to not use them.
