Just wondering which option is better. I have a 2010 imac and it has 2 x 2 gig of ram, I recently just bought 2 x 4 gig, to upgrade.

my question is the iMac has four slots so is it advisable to use all 4 ram sticks or just the 2 x 4.

thankyou.

You can use all 4 if you like. Your iMac can use up to 16GB or 32GB, depending on which model you have.

cool, thanx for that, i just thought having 2 x 2 and 2 x 4 was weird. much appreciated, aslo, double checking before i install, so it doesn't go bang. :).
