History

This page covers all the Apple iMacs with Intel processors. There are 3 main generations of Intel iMacs, the first two came in the same white case as the iMac G5, the last (announced August 2007) changed to a unique Aluminium and Glass look.

Announced in January 2006 alongside the MacBook Pro, the Intel iMac was the first Apple desktop to use the new Intel Core Duo processor. This first range of iMacs could take up to 2GB of RAM. Apple specs for the original model can be found here.

In September 2006 Apple refreshed this line, moving from the Core Duo to the Core 2 Duo processor (claiming a 50% increase in performance for some tasks) and introducing a new mammoth 24" display model. These white Core 2 Duo iMacs could take up to 3GB of RAM. Apple specs here.

In August 2007 the iMac moved to the new Aluminium and Glass case type, added a FireWire 800 port, dropped the 17" display model and moved the top of the range 24" model to the 2.8GHz Intel Core Extreme CPU. These iMacs can take up to 6GB of RAM. Apple specs here.

At the end of April 2008 Apple updated the iMac line again, keeping the Aluminium case but offering updated graphics options, increasing the CPU speed and bumping the front side bus to 1066MHz and the memory bus to 800MHz, meaning that this iMac uses faster RAM than the previous models. Apple specs here.

In March 2009 another revision moved the memory speed up to DDR3 1066MHz (keeping the front side bus at 1066MHz) with a maximum of 8GB in 2 x 4GB modules. The FireWire 400 port was dropped, leaving 1 FireWire 800 and 5 USB 2.0 for peripheral devices and the optical drive moved to a SATA connection. Apple specs here.

In October 2009 Apple released a new update which debuted a massive 27" display model, available with an option to have the new Intel Core i5 or Core i7 quad-core CPU. Alongside this, at the lower end, a new 21.5" model was released with the Core 2 Duo CPU used in earlier models. Display resolution was also upgraded on both models, with the 27" having a massive 2560x1440 - the same as the contemporary 30" Apple Cinema Display! Also this model added 2 extra RAM sockets, making 4 in total, giving a new maximum memory capacity of 16GB in 4 x 4GB modules. Apple specs here. Importantly, this and subsequent models have an issue with the hard drive temperature sensor relying on both manufacturer specific hardware and proprietary Apple firmware on the hard drive, which requires a third party software solution to resolve.

In July 2010 the line was refreshed, with new 21.5" and 27" models. This revision dropped the Core 2 Duo from the remaining models, and used Core i3, i5 and i7 chips for all machines. The graphics card was also upgraded, and importantly for upgrades, the memory type was upgraded to DDR3 1333MHz PC10600. The 27" Core i5 and Core i7 models can use up to 32GB in 4 x 8GB, the other models max out at 16GB. Apple specs here.

In May 2011 another update, releasing new 21.5" and 27" models. This model brought the Thunderbolt connection to the iMac line, upgraded the graphics card, and used quad-core Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs for all models. All these models can use up to 32GB in 4 x 8GB DDR3 1333MHz PC10600 modules. Apple specs here.

In August 2011 an Educational only model of iMac was released in the US. This was sold alongside the May 2011 which were not discontinued. This machine was released in the smaller 21.5" screen, an Intel Core i3 CPU, and only has 2 RAM sockets rather than the usual 4. Apple specs here.

In October 2012 Apple announced an update to the iMac range. These machines came in a new, thinner case, and no optical drive. There are important changes to their upgradeability. It is considerably more difficult to upgrade the drives in these models, and while the 27" has 4 accessible RAM sockets allowing it to take up to 32GB in 4 x 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC12800 RAM, the RAM in the 21.5" is not upgradeable beyond the initial 8GB or 16GB it was sold with. This range of iMacs use Core i5 and i7 processors. Apple here for the 21.5" and here for the 27".

How to Identify these Machines

The white Intel iMac is very distinctive. The only machines that look similar are the earlier iMac G5s. To tell the difference between the G5 and Intel iMacs, open System Profiler and check the CPU type. These newer iMacs also have a mini-DVI video output, rather than the mini-VGA on earlier models.

You can identify between the first and second generation Intel iMacs by looking at the processor type in the System Profile utility - the first generation (Apple specs here) had Core Duo CPUs, the second generation (Apple specs here) had Core 2 Duo CPUs.

The third, forth and fifth generation (Aluminium and Glass) Intel iMacs have a very different casing from the earlier models (see pictures). To distinguish between these two models the simplest way is to check the RAM speed in system profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac, click the "More Info.." button, and select Memory in the left-hand panel).

The third generation (August 2007 - April 2008) uses 667MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. Also called PC5300. This was available as a 2GHz and 2.4GHz 20" model, and a 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz 24" version. Apple specs here.

The forth generation (introduced 28th April 2008) uses 800MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. Also called PC6400. This was released as a 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz 20" model, and a 2.8GHz and 3.06GHz 24" version. The bus speed on this model was raised to 1066MHz. Apple specs here.

The fifth generation (March 2009) uses DDR3 1066MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. Also called PC8500. This was released in a 2.66GHz, 2.93GHz, 3.06GHz configuration. The bus speed in this model is 1066MHz. Apple specs here.

The sixth generation (October 2009) uses DDR3 1066MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. The number of sockets was increased from 2 to 4. This was released in Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz and 3.33GHz (21.5" display) and Core i5 2.66GHz and Core i7 2.8GHz (27" display) CPUs. Apple specs here.

The seventh generation (July 2010) uses DDR3 1333MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. This was released in 3.06GHz and 3.2GHz Core i3, and 3.6GHz Core i5 (21.5" display). And 3.2GHz and 3.6GHz Core i5, 2.8 GHz Core i5 Quad, and 2.93 Core i7 Quad (27" display) configurations. These models all use ATI Radeon HD graphics cards from the 4xxx or 5xxx series. Apple specs here.

The eighth generation (May 2011) uses DDR3 1333MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column. This was released in quad-core 2.5GHz and 2.7GHz Core i5, and quad-core 2.8GHz Core i7 (21.5" display). And quad core 2.7GHz and 3.1Ghz Core i5 and 3.4GHz Core i7 (27" display). All these models have ATI Radeon HD graphics cards from the 6xxx series. Apple specs here.

The one-off US Educational-only model (August 2011) uses DDR3 1333MHz RAM which should appear in the speed column. This was released with an Intel Core i3 3.1GHz CPU and 21.5" screen only. Apple specs here.

The ninth generation (Oct 2012) uses DDR3 1600MHz RAM, which should appear in the speed column, although only the 27" is upgradeable. These models came in a new, thinner case. There is no access to the RAM on the 21.5" model, and on the 27" model access is through a hatch on the back, rather than through the bottom grill as on all previous models. Apple here for the 21.5" and here for the 27".

Memory Upgrades

See the "How To Identify this Mac" section above for information on how to identify which model iMac you have.

Up to 28th April 2008, all Intel iMacs use DDR2-PC2-5300 SODIMM RAM (667MHz), and have 2 slots. The original Core Duo model could take maximum of 2GB, the later Core 2 Duo model could take up to 3GB using 1 x 1GB module and 1 x 2GB.

The first Aluminium and Glass iMacs can take up to 6GB in 1 x 4GB and 1 x 2GB modules.

The second Aluminium iMac (April 2008) uses DDR2 PC6400 RAM (800MHz), it has two slots and can take up to 6GB in 1 x 4GB and 1 x 2GB modules.

The third Aluminium iMac (March 2009) uses DDR3 PC8500 RAM (1066MHz), it has two slots each of which can take up to a 4GB module for a maximum of 8GB.

The fourth Aluminium iMac (October 2009) uses DDR3 PC8500 RAM (1066MHz), it has four slots each of which can take up to a 4GB module for a maximum of 16GB.

The fifth and sixth Aluminium iMac (July 2010, May 2011) uses DDR3 PC10600 RAM (1333MHz). All 2011 models and the 27" Core i5 and Core i7 models can use up to 32GB in 4 x 8GB modules. The other 2010 machines are limited to 16GB.

With the seventh Aluminium iMac (Oct 2012), only the 27" model has upgradeable memory. For the 27" you can fit DDR3 PC12800 (1600MHz) memory, it has 4 slots and can take up to 32GB in 4 x 8GB modules.

There is no need to install RAM in matched pairs in any iMac.

Memory is very much a user installable part on the Intel iMac.

Difficulty 5/5 Very Hard

Professional installation recommended.


Internal Hard Drive Upgrades

The internal hard drive in all Intel iMacs prior to the October 2012 revision can be upgraded to a larger volume. Please note that fitting a hard drive will invalidate any remaining warranty on these machines unless you get an Authorised Apple Service Centre to fit the unit.

As well as upgrading the existing hard drive, a second (2.5") drive can be fitted to most models. In earlier models this requires replacing the DVD drive, but the 27" 2010 and the 2011 models have a dedicated bay especially designed to take an SSD. A mounting kit is needed for these later machines however, unless the machine was supplied with an additional SSD already fitted as a build to order option when it was first purchased.

Note: The late 2009 iMacs, and subsequent models, have an issue with the hard drive temperature sensor relying on both manufacturer specific hardware and proprietary Apple firmware, which requires a third party software solution to resolve. This is included in our installation service for the later iMacs. This is only an issue when replacing the main hard drive - it does not affect drives added in addition.

The Late 2012 revision drives are technically upgradeable, but it is considerably harder to do in these models and we do not currently offer drives for them although we may do so at a later date - please feel free to call us on 01223 833 412 if you would like to discuss a drive upgrade for these machines.

If you don't want to fit a new hard drive yourself, you can take advantage of the MacUpgrades Installation Service. Add the installation service from the list below to your cart along with your chosen hard drive. We can also clone your existing hard drive onto the new one, simply add the Clone Original Hard Drive service below to your cart.

Once you have booked the service, send your machine to us, we will carry out the work and return it to you. Alternatively, we do offer a Collection Service with our courier, please see here for details.
