iMACs are made without easily-accessible compartments for most components, particularly memory, which means the only way to add RAM is to take the iMAC to an authorized Apple dealer and have them add it. If they have what is needed to make the addition, it is likely to be a pricey one, so get a quote first in case it is less costly to just but a newer, higher RAM version of the iMAC.
