Adding RAM to 2012 27" iMac

[chaseardoin7]

I've heard that there is a panel in the back of the new 27" that can be removed easily to add ram. Haven't see pics of this. Is this true? If so, pretty simple at home modification for a newbie?

Thanks!!

Yes, there is. Should be easy if you follow the instructions that Apple and memory resellers provide.

There's a button to press on the back to release the RAM plate. Couldn't be much easier, although I hear the button is a bit hard, so use something like a pen to depress it.

Here's a review, including a video that shows how the memory panel is opened:

Adding RAM should be VERY easy on this system.

Might get me another 16gb of memory for my new iMac...

For how cheap ram are these days, without a doubt you should max it out at 32GB
