iMac RAM help

[AppleBMW&Lakers]

Hey guys, I want to upgrade my RAM to 16 GB, here is what I found on OWC:

16GB PC10600 1333MHZ SO Kit (4 x 4GB) w/Lifetime Warranty - $140

Any other suggestions on where to get 16GB for cheaper, and does anyone else have 16GB of RAM on a 27 inch iMac 2010. As always thank you for your time.

Yes, I have a mid-2010 27" iMac with 16GB of OWC RAM. What do you want to know?

Thanks guys

So, I will give the New Egg a try, the 27 inch iMac has 4 slots, so clearly I have to remove everything I have and then replace it with the new memory. So I should not combine any of my old memory with the new.

----------

The memory at NewEgg says unbuffered what does that mean?

You can combine the RAM, as long as the bus speeds match.

Thanks again!!

I'm still a little confused, I have this:

I don't know if it is compatible with the one from NewEgg

Yep, they're both identical and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks for all the help

I really appreciate it, one last thing, since I have that previous RAM, do I have anymore open slots, how would I install the new ones? I'm sorry if I confused you, what I'm trying to say is will I have to remove the old ones, or can they also stay in the iMac with the new RAM from new egg. All the best.

There are four slots altogether. If you have 2 chips of 4GB each, then you will already have 8GB and two open slots. Then just insert the two extra 4GB chips to make 16GB.
