[...]Upgrading a 2006 iMac's ram is easy and this ram made my computer run about twice as fast.The only downside is that my iMac came with 2 512MB memory cards, not a 1GB card, so I was only able to increase my RAM from 1GB to 2.5GB.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch) System:

The installation really wasn't that difficult, but I didn't know how hard to push on the memory to attach it properly. I installed it, booted up and NOTHING. I was really bummed. Then I opened it back up and used the eraser of a pencil to push it in securly. Worked like a charm.

The speed I have from adding 3 more gig (total of 4 now) is amazing. I really do feel like I got a new computer. Wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Well worth the money.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch) System:

Works fine on late 2007 iMac. The Crucial memory configurator thing figured out the correct memory to use, and the price was competitive. It gave me peace of mind that the memory specs were appropriate for my computer. Note that old iMacs have a 3GB limit, so make sure to check your current configuration and only buy just enough to get you to 3GB.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch) System:

I installed 3 gb of memory to replace the stock 1 GB (2x512) memory. Installation was a breeze. Before the upgrade my imac would sometimes not recover from sleeping and also at times the display would grey-out and say I needed to restart (very frustrating). I looked up the problem online and found it was most likely a memory problem. I upgraded with new memory and the problem is fixed. The computer also runs a bit faster now as well.

Dealing with 6-7 files open across Illustrator and Photoshop all in 300+dpi for print really bogged down my work iMac. It is able to handle up to 3GB of ram, so i got one of the crucial 2GB sticks to boost the handling of these types of tasks. Works great, could tell the difference in boot time, and the ability to switch between open files, and continue working. Just what I was looking for.
