How to Determine if iMac (previous gen.) can take 6 GB RAM

if you check the OWC site, it will tell you what you can take or not... i think you are limited to 4 -- it was the previous models that do 6 -- but still $180 like pinkoos said (which is actually cheaper than i paid for my 4 gigs when i first bought my imac...)

I'm confused on this too. Unless I'm missing something, the link above lists only the recent 2009 models as being able to support more than 4GB. Does anybody have a link to a vendor site listing a previous generation iMac as accepting, even unofficially, 6GB of RAM?

Thanks.
I think what OWC is saying on that link is the "officially supported" max RAM. However, if you then click through to a particular model, it clears it up a bit by having certain "kits" available for certain models. The kits are for a higher capacity than what is "officially supported."

That's my take on it anyway.
