Q: Will late 2012 iMac memory work in a March 2009 iMac?
Just bought a new 27" imac. Installed 32 GB ram and have the orginal 8 GB (2 sticks) left over. I have a March 2009 iMac which will take up to 8 GB ram. Will the ram from the new iMac work in the 2009 iMac?
Thanks for the help.
iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Early 2009 iMacs use PC3-8500 1066 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
The new iMacs use PC3-12800 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM.
So the answer to your question is, unfortunately, no.
