Substantial additional information on this upgrade, iMac disassembly pictorials, and installation videos for this and potential other upgrades are available for free via OWC's blog.

"We're pleased to announce this complete, DIY memory upgrade kit for what was previously considered by many to be a non-upgradeable machine," said Larry O'Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. "It should be noted, though, in order to upgrade the memory, iMac owners must perform a highly complex screen and logic board removal. As such, we highly recommend professional installation of the kit."

OWC Ready with Upgrades for 2012 27" iMac Models
The 2012 27" iMac models, which were heavily backordered, are now shipping and are also fully supported with OWC Memory Upgrade Kits. New iMac owners can immediately order 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacity upgrades priced from $49.50. The 2012 27" iMac's memory can be upgraded via rear slots and does not require screen removal.

Up to 32GB Memory Now Available for 2010-2011 iMacs
Owners of 2010-2011 iMacs can add an OWC Memory Upgrade up to 16GB priced from $95.00 to the original factory maximum 16GB installed memory for a total of 32GB. With the benchmark proven ability of OWC's memory upgrades and the horsepower of up to a 3.4GHz Quad-Core i7 processor, these relatively new iMacs can deliver serious graphics production, A/V editing, and other professional use performance rivaling that of a Mac Pro for far less cost.
