This says 8GBx2. For a total of 16GB. I thought the iMac has a total of 2 slots only? I wanted 32GB.
iMac has 4 slots.....
Now my question honestly here is does anyone know if the faster timing speeds on the RAM actually matter?
I think I upgraded my RAM in my 2012 iMac to 24GBs around 1+ year ago and I wonder if a faster timing RAM would give me any boost in performance?
Thanks
That set was hovering around 199 (X4 sticks) a year ago.
SSDs prices are steadily dropping, but Ram is not moving for some reason.

This is the RAM I have in my machine.

it has performed flawlessly since day 1. I removed the stock RAM and installed this before ever turning the machine on.

I bought two 16GB kits for my iMac (late 2012 model) from Crucial in early December 2012 . . . . . before everyone realized they were leaving a huge pile of money on the table and jacked the price matrix by two.
Paid ~ $170 USD for that 32GB goodness.
Lucky. I wound up paying $370 for mine after shipping, taxes and handling. Bought direct from crucial and shipped to Canada; all the alternatives I could find were closer to $100/stick, or were 1.5v, which I've heard mixed things about.
