RAM Question for iMac

[threebikesmcginty]

Morning geeks!

A while ago I added a new RAM thingy to my Mac. All ok up until it the computer stopped working. Looked up what the bleeps meant and it was the RAM - swapped them around and had to take one out until it worked again (dunno if that was the new or old), yeah fixed it on my own .

Question is, I need more RAM now for the same reason I needed it before but is it better just to add another card thing again or replace the existing one that does work, what's the best thing to do?*




*don't say flush your Mac down the khazi and buy a proper computer!

There's only a certain amount it will e able to take - if you have a spare RAM slot then just add another in (I think there are only usually 2? I installed some last year but can't remember, I think I'm running 12gb RAM now).

Either way, don't flush it - Macs are the holy grail of computers and make PCs seem as useful as a chocolate teapot. Mmm...chocolate...

There's 2 slots, is there a maximum RAM, it's only got 1GB in one slot at the mo?

Ed, go to Crucial and use their on-line "advisor". You don't have to get it from them, but you can see what your machine's maximum RAM is.

Cheers Mort - Crucial seem to be the cheapest!
