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

@ Mayer: Thanks for your infos,

but imho this is correct, but not the answer to the first question.

The 1st question is: will the iMac7,1 –NOT the iMac8,1– also accept 800MHz DIMMs. like some other 667MHz Mac models do ?

The answers to questions 2, and 3 are correct.

@klausfinke The EMC2133 only has two models, both 7,1. Your information is incorrect
