I have an IMac (early 2009), 1067 MHz, DDR3. I am looking to bump to bring it up from 4GB to 8GB. Is the Kingston HyperX 8GB the correct choice? RR

Hi I found some info on Apple:Memory specificationsThese iMac computers have two side-by-side Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) slots in the bottom of the computer.The maximum amount of random-access memory (RAM) you can install in the computer is:Computer Memory Type Maximum MemoryiMac (Mid 2007) DDR2 4GB (2x2GB)iMac (Early 2008) DDR2 4GB (2x2GB)iMac (Early 2009) DDR3 8GB (2x4GB)with this specs I think that this memory ram doesn´t fit on your IMAC.

Hi RR,The iMac Early 2009 model computer requires DDR3 1066MHz 204pin SODIMMs. The HyperX Blu memory, part number KHX1600C10D3B1/8G, is a DDR3 1600MHz 240pin DIMM. As such, the HyperX Blu memory would not fit properly into the iMac as it requires notebook size memory. We do not currently manufacture memory that is comaptibler with that system but you may be able to find the compatible discontinued part number KTA-MB1066K2/8G from some online vendors. For any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support Hi RR,The iMac Early 2009 model computer requires DDR3 1066MHz 204pin SODIMMs. The HyperX Blu memory, part number KHX1600C10D3B1/8G, is a DDR3 1600MHz 240pin DIMM.

Yes, this should work fine so long as the memory in your computer currently is NOT sodimm

Glenn Levy, you are INCORRECT. Unlike older iMacs, the RAM in Intel iMacs is a user installable part and does NOT void the warranty. I would recommend upgrading to at least 2 GB (1 GB is bare minimum these days). Anything you can do to reduce the amount of reading/writing to the hard drive will boost overall system performance.

I have no idea. I put these in a Dell 4010N. I have never put RAM in an iMAC ...

It will not work for iMac's. Due to it being a DIMM, iMacs require SO-DIMM, iMac models use unbuffered RAM, non-parity, PC3-10600, 204-pin, and 1333 megahertz (MHz) DDR3 SDRAM.

It most likely will work. The best way to determine your memory type is to click on the Apple icon and then click on About this Mac. It should show you the type of memory that is required. I would say that most likely memory for 2006-20007 era iMacs will utilize the same memory as long as you have a duo2 core processor.. Just follow my steps and let me know if you have other questions.

Yes. I added this 8gb pair to the iMac's original 4 gb pair and now have 12 gb. Works great!

Mixing memory on iMacs is a gamble. The responses below are not specific enough as to which RAM they are using or combining? Hynix was original iMac and works in unison at 2X2 GB. The 4GB + 2GB combo is my issue also and I insist that the seller guarantee it will either work with other memory or NOT?

Well, it worked for me. I have 2008 imac. I ordered 4gb memory(2 chips). I pulled old memory out n inserted the new memory, one at a time. I turned on the computer n i could see the increased memory right away in drop down menu "about this mac."

First you need to know what memory your machine has. You look in "about this Mac". This kit is 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. If your machine uses the 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM then this memory will work in your machine. The MHz is very important... another brand might have the DDR2 but not the 667 MH. The other thing to know is what the maximum memory allowance is for your machine. Kingston does make a 2GB kit, and it's cheaper.

Pretty sure all the iMacs that use DDR3 require SO-DIMMs, not full-size memory. Here's a link to Apple which seems to suggest this memory won't work. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5523

Yes, i had the same situation and upgraded my 2011 imac to 16gb. It is totally worth it.

Absolutely perfect for it. You can pick out the various components to suit your wallet and needs, but do NOT skimp on the RAM! And, install a second drive if possible. They're both very inexpensive if you you know where to buy them. I have always used http://www.transintl.com/macupgrades/index.cfm for my HDs and RAM.

Your iMac probably requires the 667-MHz module. The 800-MHz SDRAM was first used in the early 2008 version.

I have an iMac but am not certain what year I got it. But I had to upgrade to 4 gigs (I couldn't add more than that) and buy the windows program to go with it. I have been as happy with it as with any new computer workings. My iMac sometimes runs slow and I must delete temp files etc to keep it efficient.

From the reading I did, it made no difference. I can't confirm this. My imac runs so much faster now with the 4 ram slots filled, but I have no idea if it would run even faster with 2

I'm sorry I answered "YES" to this question.This type of memory won't work on your iMac, you will need a PC3-8500/1066MHz/204 pin RAM modules

Not that I am saying that the other people who answered are wrong, but I have the mid 2011 model iMac, which came with 4gb of RAM, and it says on the box and on the Apple website that it is not upgradeable. On mine, I was able to take off the back cover and there were two empty RAM slots. So I replaced the two 2gb RAM sticks with 4gb, and added 2 more 4gb of RAM. I now have 16gb of RAM in my computer and it works like a champ...performance and speed wise.
