cathullyett Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi Brian. I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020), with 4 memory slots (2 x 4gb and 2 x empty). I want to add more ram - what should I get? It says I need 2667 MHz DDR4, but is there any brand I should steer clear of? Thanks Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m so jealous, you can go up to 128GB of RAM. What I would do is purchase this Crucial 64GB RAM kit from B&H. Remove the existing RAM, install the Crucial RAM into the slots that the Apple RAM currently resides in, then move/install the Apple RAM to the current empty slots. When finished, you will have 72GB of RAM to play with. Big difference between 8GB and 72. Yes, you can install it yourself. It takes about 5 min or so. Lots of YouTube videos demonstrating the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathullyett Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thanks Brian. Might be a dumb question, but is this the same thing? https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/MEMCRU16032/Crucial-32GB-kit-16GBx2-DDR4-2666-MTs-PC4-21300-CL I'm in NZ and want to buy local if possible.... Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 That kit is two 16GB sticks. The NZ link will bring your Mac to 40GB, not 72GB. Which is fine unless you have a high MP camera, 45MP or higher. Then you really want 64GB or more. But that RAM you linked to should also work.
