6GB RAM in 2008 iMac?

[Slrman]

I have a 2008 2.66GHz iMac currently with 4 GB of RAM. I am using OSX 10.6.8. I read that Apple lists this system as capable of 4 GB maximum RAM but then on www.everymac.com I read that with a 4GB module paired with a 2 GB module that 6 GB will work.

My question is, does it matter which slot has which module? Has anyone tried this and have it work?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It works. No, it does not matter which slot has the 4Gb stick and which has teh 2Gb stick.

6GB works great in my mid-2007 2.4 24" iMac and it doesn't seem to matter which slot the 4GB chip is in.

Same here. Lion seems to appreciate the extra 2GB even more.

Ok, I am in the same boat here...

I have this great 4GB OCZ dual channel kit with low CL 5 latency, and thinking to upgrade to the OWC 4+2GB solution that will (probably) work as dual channel asynchronus and with CL 6 latency.

I use my iMac 8.1 for audio production and editing (Cubase and Wavelab with many plugins) so I think that the 2 extra GB will probably outweight the loss in pure memory speed.

What do you guys suggest?
