More iMac Happiness!
As I explained before, I updated my MacBook from 2 to 4 gigs of memory. This involved removing the two 1-gig memory sticks from the MacBook and replacing them with two 2-gig sticks from Crucial. This went off without a glitch and the MacBook is flying along happily without a sweat, even when running Fusion and Windows 7.
I was happy to have my two computers running 4 gigs each, but the new iMac had two empty slots and here I had two 1-gig memory sticks with nothing to do but collect dust before recycling. I wondered if I could install these memory sticks into the empty slots on my new iMac. I searched online but could only find absolute statements from the Apple website that the slots could hold 2 or 4-gig memory modules. Hmmmm. . . .
After researching how easy it is to add/change memory on the new iMac, I decided to go for it. 10 minutes later I was the proud owner of an iMac showing 6-gigs of memory at it’s command. SWEET! So far there have been no issues, no changes in performance that I can see except that I have LOTS of free memory all the time. I am loving this new Macintosh!
