Review on πŸ’» Royemai 4GB DDR3 8500S 1066MHz SODIMM RAM: Reliable PC3 1066 Laptop Memory Module by Mike Palma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy iMac performance upgrade in mid-2011 to 16GB

Pros: * reasonable price * easy installation with instructions from Apple (link in About This Mac menu where you also check compatibility * works great, first try * free one-day shipping * well packaged Cons: * unknown memory brand Comment: Inexpensive way ($70) to improve the performance of a mid-2011 iMac that my mom replaced because it was "slow" was. Its main use is email and web browsing. She only used 100GB of her 1TB hard drive. . . But storage was still at 4GB, so I assumed storage was the limiting factor. Definitely bring some pop back to the computer! Addendum 8/2020: RAM still works well and the computer is still used by my sister for general computing tasks.

Pros
  • memory
Cons
