Found this, concerning the part number of the 1 GB module.. http://forums.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-me ... /td-p/4781
Beginning to wonder.. the OS on that iMac may be a 32-bit type, and can address a maximum system memory of about 3.5 gigs, including any devices with their own memory. 4 GB being the absolute. Similar to Windows OS versions?

Have you tried using the 1 GB module in slot # 0 or first-detected, and the 2 GB module in slot # 1 or second?

I am running OSX 10.6.8 with 8GB, fully used. It is 64bit. I was mistaken on the iMac being close to my MBP, it is more than 2 years older and it seems to have an absolute memory limit of 4GB according to crucial and apple, so far I have not been able to find anyone using more than 4GB in that generation of iMac

imac model A1224 EMC 2133

Trying to find the best match for the 2 gig RAMM stick. From what I can tell its DDR2 5300 200 pin. Local computer store had 1 2 gig stick for @$35 but was of the SO DIMM laptop variety, that he researched as compatible.
Do any of the following from this page qualify as compatible to the 2 gig module I have in bank0?

standard 1GB (one SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 4GB

I would go to Crucial directly for your memory sticks:

But if you are really low on cash or have to buy through Amazon for whatever reason:
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC2-5300- ... =CT3265290

I am ordering direct from Crucial. Interesting that Amazon has the same mem module. for a few bucks cheaper. No where in the listing at Amazon does it say new, though. I thought Amazon middles the sale and item shipped directly from Crucial. Listing did not specify.

[Karlsweldt]

Amazon. com normally lists both used and new items, noted so in the ad. If not available used, then new.
A lot of companies do the "middleman" deal, but Amazon also has many huge warehouses with real people.

Never did figure this out completely. Freezes @ once a week with no recognizable pattern.
I changed HDD I use USB KB and mouse. Up to date OSX Yosemite. This crash is new, screen just went blank and this report came up when rebooting:
