Hello I Have The 24 Inch iMac As Listed Above
Heres My Question Can I Install DDR3 SDRAM 200 Pin In My iMac
I Read That The Early 2008 Model Is Not Compatible With DDR3 Ram But I Think Thats Only For 204 Pin I Noticed On This Website I Visited It Said DDR2 SDRAM 200 Pin So I Was Wondering If I Got 2 2GB DDR3 SDRAM 200 Pin Memory Modules If It Would Work

Please Give Me An Answer ASAP
I Would Really Appreciate It
And Be Very Grateful

iMac's are only designed to have a useful life of 3 to 4 years. If you've got a 2008 that's still running you're on borrowed time. Lib Nemesis is correct in saying that it would be a waste of money.

In the future, if you want a machine that's going to last longer go with a professional grade PC like an IBM/Lenovo T-Series or an HP Probook.

No. Nor would you notice a difference anyways. It would be a waste of money
