Review on 💾 A-Tech 8GB RAM Upgrade Module for Apple MacBook Pro (Early/Late 2011), iMac (Mid 2010 27 inch 4-Core, Mid 2011 21.5/27 inch), Mac Mini (Mid 2011) - DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 204-Pin SODIMM Memory Upgrade by Russ Freeman

My old 2011 iMac started to run slowly, the beach ball started spinning and was practically unusable, but I remembered that the RAM was pretty could have easily been upgraded so i watched some youtube videos to see how to do it then i tried to figure out the max amount of ram this old machine can hold and people seemed to be saying, that it could hold 4 sticks of 8GB so I just said let's do it. The biggest tip for installation is to remember how the old ones came out and then just "push harder" to make sure they actually go in and fit snugly. I didn't get it right at first and when I turned it on it just kept beeping and beeping so I held the power button and turned everything back off. Finally I understood. I actually got an 8GB stick in the mail first, and I didn't want to wait for the rest to arrive before trying the 8GB stick. I thought I could only have 12GB with other 2GB sticks but it beeped and for some reason I didn't like the mix of old and new. In the end, I settled on an 8GB flash drive, and since that doubled the original amount of RAM, I noticed the computer breathed new life into it. But I hate waiting for the computer to load stuff and I know RAM isn't the only speed factor, but now that I have 32GB in this thing I'm super excited and it seems to have a bit more momentum admit. This will open programs much faster. Whether you go for an 8, 16 or 32, this should definitely breathe new life into your old car. good luck there
