What this kit does

This 4 GB kit contains two 2 GB DDR2 800 SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.8 24-Inch Early 2008. It restores or expands memory on that specific model when the original sticks are missing or faulty.

The spec that decides fit

The modules are 200-pin PC2-6400 DDR2 running at 1.8 V with CL6 6-6-6 timing and unbuffered 2Rx8 organisation. Only systems that accept this exact DDR2 SO-DIMM specification will recognise the memory.

Install notes and common issues

Installation requires opening the iMac memory door and seating both sticks firmly until the latches click. The machine has two slots and a 6 GB maximum using mixed 4 GB and 2 GB modules, so this 2x2 GB kit leaves one upgrade path open. Buyers needing more than 4 GB total capacity should look elsewhere.

Compatibility confirmed

Computer Memory Solutions guarantees operation with the listed iMac model identifiers MB325LL/A, iMac8,1 and A1225. The kit ships as a matched pair from a major brand chipset source and carries a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
