Apple iMac 27 inch 2.9GHz Memory Upgrades

I have listed the ram upgrade prices for this Apple iMac model above but I wanted to note a few things  about th 27 inch iMacs vs the 21.5 inch iMacs and specifically that you can install much more RAM in the bigger screen iMacs than you can with the small screened iMacs. Double the RAM capacity  in fact and due to the fact that there’s four memory slots available on this particular iMac model you have the choice of installing either 16GB or 32GB of RAM. This iMac model ships from the factory with a skimpy 8GB of ram (4GB x 2) in two of the memory slots so unlike the 21.5 inch iMacs this gives you some options:

1. Keep the 8GB installed and add another 8GB (4GBx2) of RAM to get you to 16GB

2. Pull the factory installed 8GB of RAM and replace it with 4x8GB memory modules in the four memory upgrade slots to get you to the maximum 32GB of RAM.

I suggest you go with option 2. If you’re really tight when it comes to budget  I suppose you could just add another 8GB but considering your new iMac wasn’t cheap I always recommend you max out the memory upgrades on any Apple computer – iMac or otherwise.

Method number 2 means you’ll be stuck with the factory installed 8GB  on your desk, but you can always sell your  old RAM or even trade it in to further offset the cost of an iMac RAM upgrade.

Where to Buy an Apple iMac 27 inch 2.9Ghz 

If you buy any iMac from the Apple Store you’ll pay full price but if you choose to buy an iMac from Amazon, MacMall, Adorama or B+H Photo Video you’ll get a better iMac deal and you can use your savings to buy iMac memory instead.
