iMac 8,1 2008 8gb ram upgrade

This morning I upgraded the memory on my 2008 IMac 8,1 20" 2.66ghz on OS X 10.6.8. I was doing some researching before purchasing the 2 x4gb kit and found not luck as to the success of this process, only the unofficial maxing out to 6gb of ram. I've been running my computer all day with no errors or suddenly crashes yet. I mostly use applications such as Avid Pro tools and Reason 6 for music production. When processing Vst/ Rtas plug-ins, pro tools reminds you that your system is running at low ram (2gb originally). But now with the upgrade, So far so good with no messages. I thought this post will help out with others trying to do this upgrade. I will also post a YouTube video later this week! :p
