  • how many RAM slots does the 21.5 inch iMac has??

  • @SJcamz All the mid 2011 iMacs have 4 memory slots regardless of screen size.

  • is the static a huge issue? I have a set for my new iMac but scared to put it in :/

  • @roushfenway1fan See the article referenced at :30 in the video for tips on avoiding ESD.

  • im confused. i have a 21" iMac so is there a difference between this and the 27" one. do they have a different limit to how much RAM you can put in there?

  • @Moe3391 Both the 21" and the 27" model can accept up to 32GB of RAM. See the link in the video description for the correct memory modules.
