I already had 4GB, and bought 8 more. On most computers the headphone jack is first, then the microphone. But This imac has a microphone built in to it, I use it on face time all the time while talking to my wife. So there are 4 USB's, 2 thunder bolts, and a fire wire I think. Don't quote me

Well, I use a lot of applications at the same time. Like office on the windows side of things, and the web being open most of the time. I can say that voice over and jaws neither lag when I'm moving through tasks swiftly, I will probably notice the biggest difference when I start editing video

I don't mean to start the ram argument up again, but now that you've been using the system for a while, do you notice a speed increase and if so, where abouts? Well done on the installation; hardware can seem a bit scary but it's actually great fun once you've done a few installations. On 29/06/2

Oh, the first thing you must do is turn off your Imac, unplug everything from it, and lay it face down on a soft surface. Then do everything I said in the previous message. Kliphton SR (twitter) http://twitter.com/kliphton72 (Marriage Blog) http://cm-i-t-real-world.blogspot.com Sent from my IMac

Well, there is a panel on the bottom of your Imac, with three screw, once you undo those, it's pretty much smooth sailing, you pull the tabs, to take out the exigzisting ram, or if your just adding too it, find the empty slot and slide it on in. You have to apply a little pressure, so it snaps

I certainly think this has a place on the list. Very nicely done. I had heard that replacing RAM was doable compared to the earlier models of the iMacs. Take Care John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com On Jun 28, 2011, at 6:58 PM, Kliph&Sharrie wrote: > Well, was really hesitant to try t

Well, was really hesitant to try this, but after reading some community forms, and watching 2 youtube videos of it being done, I decided to go ahead and try doing it myself. It's probably the easiest thing I've ever done on a computer. So I put 8 more gigs of ram into my Imac, now running 12.
