RAM - Can I have some more please?

[Oktober]

I have a 2007 white 24 inch iMac with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running Snow leopard 10.6.2.

I want to know can my iMac take another stick (1GB) of ram or more? It currently has 2 x 1bg sticks. So I would need to buy a 2GB stick to run next to the current 1GB if this was possible?

I checked on crucial website, but it could not find my iMac with their scanner 🙁 So I had to find it myself: http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch)

So if someone could help me out, that would be fantastic.

I have just found this on the apple support website which states that my iMac can take up to 4GB of RAM?

The knowledge base you linked to is for the aluminium iMacs, which were released in Mid 2007. They support 4GB.

If you have a white iMac bought in 2007, then it officially supports 2GB, but some were able to upgrade it to 4GB.

PS: Are you sure you have 2.33GHz? I haven't found any model with that clock speed on http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html

You can edit your post by clicking the

Ahh, I see.

Yes I am 100% sure I have a 2.33ghz iMac. Here is proof.

Nah, you doctored that. I'm 007% sure of that.

Can you take a look at System Profiler and examine the Model Identifier and report back?

Is your Mac a custom built order?

Yes, my iMac is a custom build.

Apple officially supports 3 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 4 GB of RAM using two 2 GB memory modules with some limitations.
