In the case of that 2011 iMac, it requires PC3-10600 unbuffered, nonparity 1333 MHz 204-pin DDR3 SDRAM. Note that you still need to follow Apple’s requirements for technical specifics of the RAM. To find out how much RAM your iMac will really support, a site like EveryMac that tracks this data is worth checking out. The model I most recently upgraded is a 2011 vintage 27-inch iMac and although Apple lists it as supporting a maximum of 16GB of RAM, in fact it will recognize and utilize 32GB. That could be great news if your iMac is currently equipped with the maximum amount of RAM and you’re hitting a performance ceiling.

However, third-parties have discovered that it actually will support 32 GB of memory using four 8 GB modules.Apple publishes guidelines for the maximum amount of RAM each iMac model supports, however the company is known for being conservative and memory upgrade specialists have discovered many iMacs are actually capable of supporting twice the amount of RAM Apple suggests. I am a firm believer in the old axiom " it't better to have and not need than to need and not have."ġ : Officially, this model supports four 4 GB modules - one in each slot for a maximum of 16 GB of memory.

My personal iMac runs with 32GB of RAM which allows me to virtualize a Windows 10 machine, and two FreeBSD servers (one for development/testing and the other for a Plex media server). Personally, I would (at minimum) sell the existing memory that you have (4GB modules are going for around $20USD on eBay) and instead buy a 16GB kit so you can max out your memory in your iMac either today or at a later date. That said, according to, the maximum supported memory configuration is 32GB 1. The last part about "money back" is why I only buy from reputable manufacturers like Crucial (PNY and Kingston are excellent choices as well). Well, the "system scanner tool" is for PC's but the rest of the statement is absolutely true. Your system in the Crucial Memory Advisor or System Scanner tools toįind the memory guaranteed to be 100 percent compatible or your money Keep in mind, that the right memory for your computer is the kind of So, technically speaking, the answer to both your questions is, yes it will work and no it won't make a difference as you can mix and match the different speeds. However, your system will operate at the speed of
You can safely add faster memory to a computer that was designed to Memory is designed to be backward-compatible, so generally speaking, While I am not a fan of of mixing and matching memory, Crucial, a manufacturer of quality memory components, has this on their website: If it would work, does it make a difference if I add them to the original RAM so I have 12GB in total, or will I have to remove the old modules and just use the 8GB instead?.I understand this RAM would not operate at 1600 MHz in the iMac.

Obviously I'm thinking that if I can use the MacBook Pro RAM in the iMac I can save some money and it's a good way of recycling. I found the MBP uses 204 pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM modules. I found the iMac uses 204 pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM modules. So I thought I would investigate the types of memory modules the iMac and MacBook Pro use. It has 8GB RAM that I have no reason to suspect has any faults as it worked fine before the damage which was not anywhere near the bottom case.
I then remembered I also have a 13 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that was damaged some time ago. It only has 4GB RAM and I have been pricing compatible memory modules online. I recently came into possession of a 27 inch mid 2011 iMac.
