Yes, it can be done. I own an i-mac intel 20" 2210, and

I have managed to increase the RAM to 8 GB using two 4GB modules

manufactured by Patriot (Patriot Signature Series) part# psd24g8002s.

I am not sure if other modules by other manufacturers would work the

same.

It depends--according to Mactracker a 2007 will take 4--a 2008 will take 6 and a 2009 will take 8. A 2006 model is limited to 2GB. Ralph

rj713,

Thanks for the responses. The August Macworld lists the "actual" upgrade for any EMC 2210 as being 6 GB, though I have found no lead to confirm this, or to obtain such a chip. Since my model is a 2007 iMac, I may be out of luck. IAC, tomorrow, I'll call Patriot and see what they have to say. Aguaybana—Do you know if your iMac is actually able to use all 8 GB?

Rich,

According to OWC, the 2133 (mid-late 2007) will accept 6 Gb; 4 in the right bank and 2 in the left. I have installed this and it is recognized by the machine when selecting "about this mac".
