Apple iMac Models

 Within the iMac family there are several distinct models, each having their own specific architectures. Our exclusive premium certified HyperVelocity modules deliver the highest possible performance you can get for your model iMac. Please select your specific model in order to choose the correct memory modules.

Whenever applicable, Mac RAM Direct will supply upgraded modules capable of faster speeds than the factory originally supplied. Faster RAM is not unlike Premium gasoline for your vehicle, where even if your auto can use 87 octane Regular, she'll purr like a kitten with the higher octane products. Similar qualities hold true for RAM. Enjoy!
