21.5" iMacs do NOT have user upgradeable RAM. Upgrading the RAM on these machines requires a complete disassembly of the computer. I would strongly recommend that you forget the idea of upgrading the RAM. Here is a video that shows how it is done:

If you decide you still want to tackle the job, please visit www.macsales.com and order your RAM from OWC.
