ok so im pretty sure i know the answer to this but:
if i put 8 gig of ram in my (2007/08 i think) 24" iMac - the last model with fw400 & fw800, will it recognize it?
Im pretty sure it can only have upto 4gb of ram (which it currently has)
iMacs from '07 and '08 can accommodate 6gB of RAM as shown below.
LATE '07
Maximum Memory 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
EARLY '08
Maximum Memory 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM

I also own the late 2007 iMac (version 7.1 in "About My Mac") and while Apple offcially lists 4 GB of RAM as the maximum, RAM companies such as OWC - http://www.macsales.com - have discoved that that iMac is actually fully stable with up to 6 GB of RAM. And that is the amount I have been using for three years.
Hope this helps 🙂
this is fantastic - thanx guys! now i guess the issue is how to get & successfully use "unmatched" ram?....
Go to the website I mentioned above and they will help you purchase the correct RAM, with Lifetime Guarantee, for a reasonable price. The site is highly thought of in these Forums, and where I learned of it.
Hope this helps 🙂
indeed i will - thanx again! 😀
And just to reassure you further, there is no problem with using different capacity RAM modules in the iMac (in this case 1x 4GB and 1x 2GB).
more ram - will it work?
