Q: Adding New RAM to 27" iMac Mid 2011
Hi,
My iMac is running very slow. I have 4GB internal RAM and need to upgrade. I am not sure (without opening things up) if the 4GB RAM is in 2 x 2GB or just the single 4GB card.
Can I add 2 x 8GB to the existing RAM to give me a total of 20GB? Or can I add 2 x 4GB to the existing RAM to end up with 12GB.
I am suing my mac to run photoshop CC, illustrator and indesign (usually all open at the same time).
What anti static precautions should I take?
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

You can check for yourself with the advisory tool in Crucial, or OWC. They are both reliable vendors. You could use an anti-static strap but that would be overdoing, IMO. I never have. It's really easy on an iMac.
