Hi I would like to max out my mac using this ram.

Thanks

Anybody?

It's the right kind of ram, but might not be the best choice. What memory do you have in your computer now?

If your iMac is stock from Apple, you probably have 2x2GB modules (assuming 4GB in your computer.) If you want to add 4 more GB, you should get another 2x2GB set, to take advantage of dual channel, instead of one 4GB module.

Another consideration is the quality of RAM. Many people seem to prefer Crucial to Kingston, and the price is identical:

Hi, thanks for the tip!

But my supplier only has:

Kingston Kingston ValueRAM 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 CL7 SODIMM (20 €)

Transcend 4GB MEMORY MODULE STD 204P DDR3 1066 SO-DIMM (512Mx64)(256Mx8/7-7-7) (30 €)

so the transcend is 10 euro more expensive...

Also now i have already a total of 8 gig installed (2 X 2 Gig and 1 X 4 Gig). Would there be a benefit getting the 2gigs out and fill all with 4 gigs. for dual channel reasons?
