RAM Type and Configuration?
Hello!
My Question has 3 parts.
a) MUST the iMac Mid-2007 20" EMC 2133 use PC2-5300 or will it run the PC2-6400?
b) I believe it will run up to 6GB of RAM, although not officially supported by Apple?
c) Must both slots carry equal amounts of RAM, eg. 2x2GB, 2x3GB, or can I configure unevenly, eg. 1x4GB + 1x2GB, 1x2GB + 1x1GB, etc.
Thanks!
Taylor

Standard RAM: 1 GB
Maximum RAM: 6 GB*
Details: 1 GB of RAM is installed as a single module.
*Apple officially supports 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
