Overloading RAM on my iMac
Hello...
Please see here for reference. Apparently I am able to load two 2GB modules in my MacBook despite the original specs, which said 2GB total max.
So, can I do similarly on my '08 iMac, currently maxed out at 4GB? I.e., cram two 4GB modules into it? If it turns out the system can only address 6GB-7GB of that (as with the MacBook), that's OK. Turns out Mt. Lion is heavier lifting than this thing's used to. (I've considered a drive upgrade but that would require professional help. RAM I can do myself.)
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
On the other hand, I did some looking around and it would appear that DDR2 PC2-6400 is not available larger than 2GB. Would some other format do as well?
Thanx muchly,
Jeff
P.S., I eagerly await the next release of iMacs, whenever that might actually happen...😕
