What kind of iMac do you have? G3, G4, G5 or Intel?
If you have a G3, or a G4, You MUST buy 2 512MB PC133 Modules, if you have a G5 or Intel, then you CAN buy a 1GB and yes, you can mix and match.

Thank you I just got my new Imac in Oct this year. It is a Core 2 Duo 20 inch my first mac ever and I just can not say enough good stuff about the mac experience. It is just after 9000 picture's and powerpoint and surfing the net I see that beech ball spinning.

Ah, yeah a Memory upgrade would be great for your Mac, but if your Hard Drive is getting full that WILL slow it down a lot, so delete anything you don't need. AND ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS keep 15% of your hard drive unused, so for every 100GB of space, keep 15GB unused. I did not do this with my eMac's hard drive and it crashed during my brother's Senior Project, it was a nightmare.
The 15% real isn't really a rule. As if you have a 1tb drive you don't need %15 free. More like 30gb.
Also that shouldn't cause your system to crash.The 15% real isn't really a rule. As if you have a 1tb drive you don't need %15 free. More like 30gb.
Oh, that's good to hear about that 1TB thing, I wasn't sure. And about that crash thing, trust me, $1600 at three different places says it was, the third head misaligned.
That is a hardware problem. Has NOTHING to do with how much data you have on the drive.
