Hello Macheads, I have in my possession a September 2006 model 17" iMac (built specifically April-June 2007, according to CoconutIdentityCard). It's your run-of-the-mill 2Ghz Core 2 Duo model, and it has been upgraded to 3GB of RAM.
Now, I have been through every database, website, forum, etc., and I find conflicting accounts about the maximum RAM it can take. Most of them tend to think that, even though it can detect 4 gigs, it can only address 3 to 3.25GB due to logic board limitations. However, a few sites like OWC claim that, although the 3GB barrier is real, upgrading to 4GB will somehow speed up their overall performance. (Of course OWC is a vendor that sells you computer memory, so I wouldn't stake my life on their objectivity.) My question is, would getting another 2GB stick of RAM have any real impact at all in my iMac's performance, or merely in my wallet? Would the fact that it's running a 64-bit OS (Snow Leopard) have any effect on memory use?
