I currently have a 4GB memory module installed on an EMC 2210 in one of the memory slots. Can I still install the original 1GB ram in the other slot making it 5GB total memory?

I installed 2GB x2 to mine to upgrade from 1GB x2. It took just minutes and I used a regular philips screw driver I found around home. Pull hard on the black straps to get the memory out. It is working great with no problems. Good luck!

Thank you for the guide. I had 2GB. I took out 1 module to add a 4GB module. So easy and now my 2133 iMac is jaw dropping fast.

Hi Garison,

.

I hope you can answer my question. I have an iMac, medio 2007, Intel 20" EMC 2133.

.

RAM: (1GB + 1GB) 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

.

I would like to make my iMac "jaw dropping fast" as well ;-)

.

Is it PC 5300 or PC 6400 I should buy?

.

And what setup wold you recommend? (1GB + 2GB), (1GB + 4GB), (2GB + 2GB) or (2GB + 4GB)?

.

Thanks,

Mikkel
