To start, you need to find a reliable vendor where you can buy RAM. While there are various options available, I suggest you go for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3586864\/type\/dlg\/sid\/cn-ba2daa725cbd48f0b62076a66ee05fb6-dtp\/https:\/\/www.macsales.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">OWC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crucial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Crucial<\/a>. Both sites offer competitive prices and can help you determine the appropriate type of RAM for your machine. It&#8217;s worth noting that Crucial contributed the RAM for this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE-1024x559.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4357\" style=\"width:1169px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE-1024x559.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE-150x82.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pczippo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/FROM-WHERE.jpg 1494w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important decisions you need to make is how much RAM to add. This will depend on how old your computer is and how you use it. For instance, my 2013 iMac came with 8GB of RAM (two 4GB sticks) and has four slots, two of which are filled. I could add two 8GB modules to the two vacant slots, which would give me a total of 16GB of RAM. Alternatively, I could remove the two 4GB RAM sticks that came with my iMac and install four 8GB RAM sticks for a total of 32GB, which is the maximum capacity supported by my iMac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an older iMac, adding RAM can significantly improve its performance, and it&#8217;s reasonably priced. For example, adding 16GB of RAM will cost you around $80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When adding RAM, it&#8217;s best to do it in pairs. Consider adding two 8GB RAM modules instead of a single 16GB RAM module. This is because Intel provides dual-channel architecture, which is designed for memory pairs. While it&#8217;s unclear how much of a performance impact your computer would take if you only inserted one stick of RAM, adding RAM in pairs is more about performance than cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/printer-driver-download.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-activation-lock-from-apple-watch.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Remove Activation Lock From Apple Watch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Install_RAM_In_i_MAC\"><\/span><strong>How To Install RAM In i MAC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong>Shut down your iMac and unplug all of its cables, including the power cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong>Arrange a few towels on the surface area.
