One of the Easiest Upgrades for Your iMac

Just like the original iMac model, a memory access panel on the rear of the newly announced iMac ejects via a simple push button located above the power input.  Adding more memory is fast and simply involves installing new modules into the memory slots and reinstalling the access panel.  Mac performance experts recommend selecting the least amount of factory installed RAM when ordering any iMac, taking advantage of significant cost savings by choosing OWC memory.

New iMac owners seeking to max-out their RAM can select the 32GB OWC memory upgrade from OWC and save $300 compared to the 32GB factory cost of $600. For even more savings, iMac with Retina 5K display owners can trade-in the two factory base 4GB memory modules.
