Matched pairs with RAM?

[TitanTiger]

I'm always confused about how this works. I know that certain types of RAM work better if they are matched pairs. I have an iMac, Core2Duo, 21.5" that has the stock 4GB (2 x 2GB) in it. I was thinking of buying 8GB of RAM (2 x 4GB sticks) to take it to 12GB overall. Would this work since there'd be two sets of matching pairs or would I not be getting the full benefit of this RAM boost?

Yes, that would work.

So no problems? I'm taking full advantage of the dual channel RAM thingy?

If you use two 2 GB and two 4 GB sticks, yes, you take advantage of that dual channel thingy.

Yes, that would work.

I am not a Mac fan.

And what is so rude about showing someone a tool to find answers for him/herself?
Or are you of the opinion, that spoonfeeding everyone should be the better way?
Besides, I answered the ****ing question.

Now that was rude. Ahh, look, a squirrel.
