Should what kind of memory card I buy for my iMac (mid 2011)?

I would like to increase the memory on my computer that I fight to run the programs I need on the current 4 GB.  I believe I have four slots in the rear of my machine (I could be wrong), adding memory to, but have no idea what to buy.  I would like to know what kind of memory card should I buy (or how), in the best place to buy.

Thank you for your comments!

iMac: 27 inches, mid-2011

Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz

  • Should what version of PhotoShop Elements I buy for Windows Vista Home Premium, and from what source?

    The first time buy PhotoShop.  I need it for a project I'm involved in my school, but I can't download creative cloud or PhotoShop elements 13 because Vista is not supported by Adobe.  However, I find it easier to find a version more suited to my computer instead of the update (just, I will be brief, it is not convenient at THIS TIME for me to upgrade my PC, even if many think it would be better for me).

    I was just on the Amazon search for PhotoShop elements PC available boxes and goes with whatever version 11 or less than that which was at a good price.  It is a good way to go or is there something special about buying CD download I need to know?  Is the purchase of a source like Amazon, rather than directly from Adobe put me at risk for a false version of PhotoShop Elements (although I was looking to buy a box of 'new' to avoid this, if I can find some)?

    I can't find WHERE Adobe sells its products from its own Web site rather than creative cloud right now.  A link would be very much appreciated that this place exists.  Thank you.

    You can download a free trial version for PES 10, 11 or 12 of this link:

    Products download Photoshop Elements | 10, 11, 12, 13>

    You can use this trial version for 30 days, after which you will have to buy a boxed version of the Amazon and use the serial number of the box to activate your trial version.

    If, however, you complete your project within the next 30 days, then you don't need to buy anything.  Money saved for other things.

    Good luck.

  • Should what kind of navigation menu bar I do for my website

    My site is to start a giant tree that I created in Illustrator and I want to spread over the entire tree navigation an idea I had was a tag like the kind they used to attach to your luggage with string made of paper, I really don't want the words just sitting in the tree either, it looks too boring. I tried to make the larger leaves, but I don't like this idea either it seems irrelevant. Should what kind of Menu bar I do for the site?

    design decisions, like beauty, is your call.  but, if you like the idea of leaves and a navigation system that is not particularly easy to use, create a few leaves in your tree that stand out any.  they may not be big and certainly not large enough to display their text.  but the passage of the mouse, they could expand and see their text.

  • I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls.

    I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls. my budget is about $2500

    You will have problems in the construction of a 99 X system for this budget. You need 32 GB of ram if you do that will be a large part of the cost with DDR4 right now. If you have a room on the X 99 budget would certainly be the way forward. The 5960 X is the best processor out right now but $1100 will probably push your budget. The 5930 K would still work and a much better price for your budget. I suggest: 970GTX with this budget as well. Forget the Xeon V3. They are out of your budget and not worth the price with this budget in mind. You can get a system much better with the I7 Haswell E chips.

  • Can what kind of network card I add?

    CTRL + Alt + S gives me this information, but none of this is acknowledged by HP support as a valid system site search. I just want to know what type of expansion of this machine slot has, so I can order a new network card. If someone can tell me how to get either the HP support site search to work, or tell me how to determine the right type of NETWORK card to buy, I would be grateful.

    Hello

    The following link shows the specifications of your machine:

    It has 3 PCIe x 1 and a PCIe x 16 graphics slots. You can buy a PCIe NIC card (called Networ adapter) and add to your machine, something similar to one of the following (for wired network)

  • Would you buy an iMac Mid-2011 in 2016?

    Hi everyone, I was looking on buying a used iMac 21.5 "mid-2011 for me for about $500. I would use it mainly to the type of documents and go online, so I was wondering if a 2011 model would be good, because my brother has a MBA 2011 and it works perfectly. I am currently a student in the second year at the College and hope that this iMac should continue to work for maybe 3-4 years. What do you think guys? Here are the specs:

    Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

    Memory: 20 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

    Chart: AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 512 MB

    Hard drive: 500 GB

    Well. I would buy it only if I knew that the seller fine - buying a computer 5 years means that the hard drive and map logic both malfunction of all hard drives not sooner or later. Logic board replacement is very expensive. If I don't know the seller, I wouldn't spend more than $300 or I would like to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and I have the material tested with their equipment to see if everything is in good shape.

    Not sure on the RAM you installed - you are NOT 20 GB; In my view, that the default value is 4 GB. If you want to run the latest top OS, better to get more RAM (8 total would be nice).

    And, finally, the seller must remove any OS version downloaded from the app store, due to the fact that it is only authorized to him, non transferable and attached to his Apple ID forever. It must provide the original installation discs.
