Mixed Memory Types
The iMac computer uses SDRAM SO-DIMMs only; EDO
memory will not work in the iMac computer. System
problems will result if EDO memory is installed. (See
“SDRAM DIMMs” in the Basics chapter and refer to the iMac
section of the Memory Guide.)
Note:
Customers are allowed to upgrade the memory in
iMac computers and may inadvertently mix EDO and SDRAM
memory. If incompatible memory types are installed, you
will hear two beeps upon startup. (See “Power-On Self
Test” in Troubleshooting for more information.)
