What is the maximum RAM for my iMac?

Can iMac 2008 upgrade early?

We understand you’d like to update macOS on your iMac (Early 2008). At this time, El Capitan is the most recent update available on this model of Mac. There is no way to update the Mac natively, nor through a third party app as software updates are contingent on hardware specifications.

Can iMac RAM be upgraded?

Best answer: You can! The 2020 iMac, like its predecessors of the same size, has an easily accessible port to allow you to upgrade your RAM for less any time you want.

Can I use 16GB and 8GB RAM together?

Yes you can, but I wouldn’t recommend it, as the 16GB will be used as 8GB to run dual-channel with the 8GB you likely already have, and the other half will be used as single-channel. It’s also better to have the same type of ram, as to not affect performance via the voltage, controllers and whatnot.

What is the highest OS for iMac 2008?

Some Mac models, such as 2007 and 2008 iMacs, are being left behind with El Capitan as their maximum OS version. Certain older Mac models are still limited to Lion (10.7), which has not been getting security patches since Yosemite was released two years ago.

Can I still use a 2008 iMac?
