The 2009 iMac models use special 204 pin Mac spec DDR3-1066 SODIMM type modules. These 2.66GHz, 2.93GHz, or 3.06GHz models have either 2GB or 4GB installed from the factory. There are two memory expansion slots in the 20" and 24" models that can each address up to 4GB for a maximum of 8GB... The newer 21.5" and 27" screen models with i5 and i7 processors give us 4 beautiful expansion slots that can accept up to 4GB each to max out at 16GB..Nice! We can finally do some serious work without committing to a Mac Pro purchase. These are very capable Triple Channel DDR3 machines.
