Apple Memory
1333Mhz DDR3 Memory for Your iMac On Sale Every Day
DDR3 RAM for iMac has been the default memory type for the popular Apple desktop computer for some time now. Until earlier this summer the Apple iMacs used and required only one type of DDR3 RAM : DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM so-dimms.
iMac Memory DDR 3 1333Mhz Memory Upgrade Prices
The Memory Upgrade Prices below are for Apple iMac 2010 models. These models include the Apple iMac 21.5 inch 3.06GHz Apple iMac 21.5 inch 3.2GHz Apple iMac 27 inch 3.2Ghz and Apple iMac 27 inch 2.8GHz quad core with all Apple iMacs featuring Intel Core i3, i5, i7 processors.
These Apple iMac Memory Prices are also available and applicable for the new 2011 Apple iMacs with faster i5 and i7 Quad Core Intel Processors. The Apple iMac 21.5 inch 2.5GHz Apple iMac 21.5 inch 2.7GHz,Apple iMac 27 inch 2.7 GHz,
Apple iMac 27 inch 3.1GHz all can use the memory in the ram price chart above and can accept 4GB x 4 for a maximum of 16GB Apple iMac RAM
But with the release of the newest Apple iMacs in the summer of 2010, Apple introduced a new memory requirement that not only used faster ram speed than prior iMacs but also allowed the iMac to use and recognize up to 16GB of RAM.
DDR3 1333MHz memory upgrades are what is required for the newest Apple iMacs when it comes to memory upgrades for Apple’s latest computer.
Buying DDR3 memory from Apple, in my opinion is not a good way to save your hard earned money and you can do better on the price if you buy either generic or even name brand memory for the Apple iMacs from a trusted third party memory store.
DDR3 memory price for Apple iMac continue to drop in price over time, and just about two years ago, upgrading your Apple iMac to 8GB would cost you as much as the desktop itself. But as the DDR3 RAM technology becomes more popular the prices for DDR3 RAM just get cheaper and cheaper.
DDR3 RAM Prices for iMac
I monitor both DDR3 1066MHz and DDR3 1333Mhz memory upgrades in both memory upgrade kit form as some memory stores prefer to market the RAM for iMacs in this fashion as there’s a good chance you will buy 2 or more iMac memory modules to install at the same time to maximize your iMac’s memory. But I also list DDR3 iMac RAM prices for individual memory uprades for iMac as well. I suggest you check both to get the best deal on your DDR3 RAM upgrade purchase.

I have a late 2009 imac. The ram specs are 1066 mhz. I ordered a 1033 mhz module and was wondering if I could still use it.

Can I use a DDR3 ram memory on a imac 24″ bought in 2007?

No, depending on your specific 2006 iMac, you’ll need to buy DDR2 PC5300 sodimms. It’s easy to find the right memory for your iMac:
1. Select a memory store you like.
2. Use the memory configurator where you can find the exact memory upgrade for your 2006 iMac model.
3. Order the memory, and instructions on Apple memory upgrades are available from Apple.com where it’s easy to upgrade RAM on your iMac yourself.

I just purchased an imac 2.5 GHz intel core i5 and possess a Kingston 8GB Kit of 1066MHz DDR3 SODIMM. Is this set of modules compatible to my new iMac? In other words, can my new iMac support these chips, when the DDR3-1333MHz RAM is recommended?

No, you can’t use the 1066. You’ll need to buy more ram that’s compatible with the iMac: http://www.ramseeker.com/imac-ddr3-1333mhz-memory-upgrade-prices/
you could also sell the DDR3 1066 privately or trade it in and apply the credit towards your 1333 ram buy:
