I bought, by mistake 16GB RAM for my iMac in the form of 2 x 8GB, rather than 4 x 4GB. Will it work? Update (04/11/2020) Hi Mayer. Thanks for the reply. I bought the correct ram as per the details above, but bigger than the recommended max of 4gb per slot. I rendered after that I had two old ram from my MacBook Pro, so I put them in and it seems to be working. I’m not 100% sure if they made a difference though as my iMac needs a few additional upgrades. I note that my wifi speed seems to be very slow too. Are you aware if the airport cards give trouble?
If you bought the correct type of RAM it should work. RAM Type:PC3-8500 DDR3Min. RAM Speed:1066 MHz Details:Supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs (204-pin). Standard RAM:4 GBMaximum RAM:16 GB Details:By default, 4 GB of RAM was installed as two 2 GB SO-DIMM modules. Two slots free.
