Apr 10, 2014 7:31 PM in response to Jose Montanezby babowa,Where did you see this?
FWIW, Apple does not manufacture RAM; the RAM they use is third party.
Which country are you in so I can look at the warranty.

Apr 10, 2014 7:31 PM in response to Jose Montanezby Ralph Landry1,That is not true...the memory of the iMac, except for the new 21" models, is a user upgrade. The 27" has a small door for you to do that upgrade.
Be sure to buy quality ram as iMacs are especially picky about their ram...I buy all of mine from OWC, http://www.macsales.com but also good is Crucial, http://www.crucial.com

Apr 10, 2014 8:52 PM in response to babowaby Jose Montanez,Whew!!! what a relief. Thanks for confirming that. I just bought a new 27" iMac 256gb SSD drive with 8gb of RAM pre-installed. I plan to max it out to 32gb of RAM. I'm in Los Angeles, CA

Apr 10, 2014 9:41 PM in response to Jose Montanezby babowa,So, where did you read what you quoted in your first post?
Here is the hardware warranty:
http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html
Bascially, it says that if you cause damage doing something, that will void the warranty (and RAM is the only thing you can add in an iMac)
And, Apple shows how to install RAM

They certainly wouldn't tell you how to do it if you weren't supposed to.....
