Hi all,
i have some doubts on upgrading the ram on my new imac.
i have read the guides and a few threads on this, but am posing these questions here so i can get some expert advice.
coming from 20 years of using the PC, just want to ensure i get it right
i just bought the new 27" iMac with 8gb RAM...
Should i be upgrading by adding the ram modules similar to how they are?
as in, since there are TWO 4gb modules, am i supposed to add 4gb modules only or can i combine the exisiting modules with additional 8gb or 16 gb modules?
if yes to adding different capacity modules, can i add them separately - one module of maybe 16gb now and another module a year or so later?
are there any recommended RAM manufacturers i should be looking at since i will be picking the RAM externally like ebay and not from Apple.
thanks for your time & please do let me know any additional information that needs considering
