That said, it does support twice as much memory as Apple states, and many people do find success adding more memory than apple recommends. If you have a pre-2011 27-inch or a 21.5-inch iMac, theres an access panel in the. I found with my Macbook Pro that getting "close enough" still resulted in an occasionally flaky system, and I had to not only get the correct memory speed, but the same timing for it to work.

I am using the Mac Mini 2011 Server (i7 2.0 Quad) with 8gb 1333 Ram to edit with FCPX, and I also have the new iMac i7 3.4 Quad with 8gb Ram and FCPX. You can check out your specific iMac by finding it on this list, then checking out the RAM section:Īlso, here's a list of the unofficial max ram support for every Apple computer since the G3: I’ll think later about adding an external SSD drive or adding a second internal SSD into the mac mini.

All 2011 iMacs will support 32GB unofficially except for the late 2011 iMac "Core i3" 3.1 21.5-Inch (MC978LL/A - iMac12,1 - A1311 - 2496) which appears to be capped by EFI at 8GB. If your Mac is a 2011 model or newer, check out how much memory it can be configured with, according to Apple specifications: iMac®, Mac Pro®, MacBook Pro®, MacBook®, and Mac mini®. I also read somewhere another article about all the upgrades you can do to the mac mini 2012.
