| Jul 20, 2019 at 15:10 | comment | added | Mike Scott | @Tetsujin Macs often support more than Apple's stated upper limits for RAM. This is one of those instances, where Apple claim a maximum of 16GB but it actually takes 32GB. As I said, mine has 20GB in it, so the actual limit is clearly more than 16GB. | |
| Jul 20, 2019 at 15:03 | comment | added | benwiggy | Is it possible that the base model had Core 2 Duo with 16Gb limit, and the faster CPUs were i5 with a 32Gb limit? | |

| Jul 20, 2019 at 14:58 | comment | added | user136834 | According to Mactracker 32 GB Maximum Memory should be supported for the (27-inch, Late 2009 model. | |
| Jul 20, 2019 at 14:54 | comment | added | Tetsujin | 16GB according to Everymac - everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/… - are you sure we're talking the same machine? | |
