using 1600mhz DDR3 ram in early 2008 imac.

I understand that the max ram a 2008 imac can handle is 6gb. However I already have 8gb of 1333mhz ram on hand, if installed in my 2008 imac will I have any issues?

iMac, iOS 8.1.3, early 2008 imac

It’s not possible to put DDR3 RAM into that iMac model.

It will almost certainly not work, but you can try.

It will not work, and as a matter of fact, it won't fit.
