Can I upgrade my memory from 4GB to 16GB on my iMac8,1? There is currently two memory slots...both 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 800Mhz.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 4GB Memory
no, 6gb is the max.
Thank you. Do I need to purchase (2) 3GB DDR SDRAM's?
I would get a 4gb and 2gb. Not sure if they make 3gb ram modules.
No, according to Apple the Early 2008 iMac only supports 4GB.

You can however go upto 6GB if you were to use a tested 6GB upgrade kit from OWC.
No.
The max. RAM you can instal is 6 GBs of RAM.

| Maximum Memory | 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple) |
