8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM kit for 21.5-inch iMac

This two-module kit delivers 8 GB of DDR3-1333 memory in 204-pin SO-DIMM form. It is built for the Apple iMac 21.5-inch 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 (MC812K/A) and validated for matching models. The unbuffered, non-ECC modules run at 1.5 V with CL7 timing.

Capacity and headroom

The kit provides 8 GB across two slots, leaving two slots free on the four-socket platform. Apple formally supports 16 GB in this model, so the kit sits at the halfway mark with room to add another 8 GB later. The 1333 MHz speed matches the platform specification and will not exceed the memory controller limit.

What the bundle changes

Two matched 4 GB sticks enable dual-channel operation on the iMac's four-slot board. The matched pair avoids single-channel penalties and simplifies installation by filling one bank. No heat spreaders are included, keeping the low-profile SO-DIMM height compatible with the slim iMac chassis.

Highlights

  • 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor fits 21.5-inch slot
