4GB DDR2 800 SO-DIMM for Early 2008 iMac

This 4GB DDR2 800 module uses the 200-pin SO-DIMM form factor and runs at 1.8V with CL6 timing. It is built as a 2Rx8 unbuffered stick without a heat spreader and carries the CM512646400SO part number from Computer Memory Solutions.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

It suits owners of the Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch (Early 2008) who need a single 4GB upgrade for one of the two sockets. It is not for systems that need ECC, registered modules, a different pin count, or a voltage other than 1.8V.

The specification that decides fit

The decisive specification is the 200-pin DDR2 SO-DIMM interface at 800 MHz (PC2 6400) with 1.8V operation and CL6 6-6-6 timing, which matches the memory controller requirements of the compatible iMac model.

Questions about this item

Does this 200-pin DDR2 800 SO-DIMM require an Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch (Early 2008) to work?

Yes, it is specified as compatible with that exact iMac model (MB398LL/A, iMac8,1, A1225) which uses DDR2 SO-DIMM slots.

Can I add this 4 GB module alongside the original memory in the two SO-DIMM slots of my Early 2008 iMac?

The iMac has two slots supporting up to 6 GB total, so this 4 GB stick can be paired with a 2 GB module in the second slot.

How can I verify the 4 GB DDR2 800 module is running at the correct 1.8 V and CL6 timing after installation?

Open System Profiler on the iMac; it will show the module as 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz with the expected voltage and latency values.
