You don't specify the age of the iMacs so it's difficult to comment. The
earliest 21.5 inch iMac listed by MacTracker is the "late 2009" model, which
has the maximum installable RAM at 16Gb. The closest 24 inch in age ("Early
2009") - the last of the 24 inch iMacs - specifies 8 Gb as the maximum
installable. Neither of these models should have any trouble with 2 x 4Gb.
