memory card size Hi Would anyone know if when purchasing a new iMac there is the possibility of getting a RAM card of 32GB rather than 4 cards of 8GB? I have memory cards from my previous iMac and will like to use them Thanks in advance gloria

I have a 21.5 inch iMac, late 2013. It runs very slowly. It came with 8GB of memory (two 4GB cards.) Can I upgrade those cards, or is that is all this machine will take? The cards are not user-accessible so I would have to take it to a professional. I have a 21.5 inch iMac, late 2013. It runs very slowly. It came with 8GB of memory (two 4GB cards.)

No. Your computer uses DDR2 RAM, not DDR3. The RAM limit is 6GB, but you need to install compatible modules.
