imac

I have an iMac that was from the first generation of aluminum iMacs. The reported model is "iMac 7,1".

This iMac's manual says I can put 2 2GB modules, but when this manual was made we don't have modules with more than 2GB and also we had Leopard then, that I suppose can handle less memory than Snow leopard.

Today we have 4GB modules, so can I put two 4GB modules and make it 8GB?

thanks.
