You don't need to know the brand name for the memory. Apple has memory made to meet its specifications. If you need more memory and are trying to ensure it matches the existing memory, go to


In North America, OWC … (OWC) - Performance Upgrades For Your Mac

In Europe contact Crucial.com … RAM Memory Upgrade


Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet the needs you describe to them. There may be benefits buying from whichever company has a branch in your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.

Hello Seventy, thank you for your answer which it is very useful maybe I didn't explain myself well so I will be more specific. I should say:

I Have a Late 2013 iMac , a third party will upgrade mi iMac with the memories I will provide them but once the upgrade it's done and I would like to know if the brand of the memory I gave them it is the exactly the same I gave them in other have not been cheated if they change the RAM Memory for a cheaper one or not so good. Thanks

Hello MichelPM, Thanks for your reply but YES, iMac it is upgradable !! it's not easy to do it but at Apple authorized center they can upgrade a late 2013 iMac RAM memory until 16GB (2 X 8GB). It is not an easy task to do it to replace the 2X 4GB that your iMac already has since the monitor display is sealed!! but not impossible, so if you have the skills you can do it by yourself OR a third party could do the job for you if you provide the right DDR3 RAM but since I will receive a "closed" iMac I want to check if they placed inside the same RAM memory I provided in my case I will give them two Corsair Apple Certified 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 Laptop Memory 1.35V CAS 11-11-11-30 but I don't want another brand with the same specifications.
