Hey all,
first post here. I have been enjoying reading these forum for awhile now.
I just got a refurbished 2011 27" iMac. It came with 4gb ram (2 slots of 2gb).
I am about to order more RAM from crucial.com.
My question:
What combination would I get the optimum performance from my RAM:
Buy 2 slots of 8gb RAM to fill the two open slots for a total of 20GB RAM. OR, buy 4 4GB to fill all four RAM slots for a total of 16GB.
Do you get better performance if you evenly distribute the ram in each slot? Or would it be fine to just add two 8GB to the two open slots?
Thanks so much!
Joel
