20" White iMac Memory and Other Questions
Hello,
I am scheduled to pick up my used white 20" iMac today and I wanted to ask how to go about a memory upgrade. It's a 2ghz Core Duo processor and has 512mb of memory so I would love to update that before I even start playing with it. Do I need to "match" the sticks or anything like that? And what exact memory chips does it take?
I also wanted to find out as far as the processors go, for a new Apple user such as myself, would there be a noticeable difference between Core Duo processor and a Core 2 Duo in an iMac?
Thank you in advance for any information.

I want to update the memory on my new (to me) white 2ghz core duo iMac. I read in the manual that it can take up to 2 gigs of DDR2-667mhz PC2-5300 of memory.
Can I just get a single 2gig stick or do I need to spread the 2 gigs into two 1 gig sticks in each slot? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
