Question About RAM..

[mikelegacy]

I just order 2 x 8GB sticks of RAM from OWC, and I was wondering if it's ill advised to just add those two sticks to the 2 x 2GB sticks that are stock from the computer?

Should I just completely replace the 2 x 2GB sticks, or would adding the 2 x 8GB sticks not really effect performance if I kept the stock RAM installed as well?

I know there are weird issues with stock RAM and 3rd party RAM sometime. Normally as long as RAM is installed in pairs, I thought it was okay.

Just wondering what some of your experiences were with this?

Yes, it's fine.

I've the same situation, having two 8-gb's ram in addition to the standard 4gb ram from the iMac.

My question 2 questions: 1. does it matter how to order these ram sticks? Or can i just insert the two sticks in the two available two slots?

2. Can I insert them before I start up the system for the very first time? Get my iMac most likely tomorrow and already got the extra ram at home.

Thanks!
