[SOLVED] What kind of RAM is inside a 2011 iMac?

[al92]

I'm upgrading an old 2011 iMac with an SSD. It's only got 4GB RAM and I'd like to up it to 8GB.

I know it's DDR3 RAM but just wondering if anyone knows specifically what it is and whether it's a type also used in Windows desktops? Anything marked as being for a mac tends to have a hugely increased price tag so hoping I can get it cheaper somewhere else.

Cheers

Have a read through this. They will most definitely be DDR3-1333MHz or DDR3-1600MHz in SO-DIMM form factor.

I've upgraded several iMacs with memory from this outlet and had zero issues with it.
