In a word...no!
The RAM's frequency is higher than spec'd for a late 2009 iMac and it either won't work orit will cause all sorts of unusual problems.
It's best to get the proper RAM for a specified Mac model to insure compatibilty and continuous and smooth operation.
Here the RAM spec you need for a late 2009 model.
| 16 GB | |
| Memory Slots | 4 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM |
|---|---|
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
