Number of memory slots: 2: Base memory: 1 GB: Two 512 MB DIMMs; one in each of the memory slots: iMac (Late 2006) 512 MB: One DDR2 SDRAM installed into the top slot: iMac (17-inch Late 2006 CD) 512 MB: Two 256 MB DIMMs; one in each of the memory slots: iMac (Mid 2006) 512 MB: One DDR2 SDRAM installed into the top slot: iMac (Early 2006) Maximum. In dynamic RAM (DRAM), the most common type of RAM, a transistor and a capacitor pair up to make a memory cell. The capacitor holds a bit of information (in the form of a 1 or 0), while the transistor acts as a switch, allowing the control circuitry to change the state of the memory.
A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot allows RAM (computer memory) to be inserted into the computer. Most motherboards have two to four memory slots, which determine the type of RAM used with the computer. The most common RAM types are SDRAM and DDR for desktop computers and SODIMM for laptop computers, each having various types and speeds. The picture below is an example of what memory slots may look like inside a desktop computer. In this picture, there are three open and available slots for three memory sticks.
When buying a new computer or motherboard, pay close attention to the types of RAM the memory slots can accept. Make sure you know exactly the type of RAM to buy for your computer. It is also important to note how many available memory slots are available in your computer. It is not uncommon for computers to have all memory slots occupied. If all slots are full and you want to upgrade the computer memory, you need to remove some or all of the existing memory.
Why are the memory slots different colors?
When a motherboard has different colored memory slots, it indicates the memory slots are dual-channel, and pairs of memory should be installed on the same channel (color). For example, a motherboard could have two yellow and two black memory slots. The yellow memory slots could indicate Channel A and Channel B could be indicated by the black slots. If you were only installing two memory sticks, you'd want to install both of them in Channel A (yellow slots) for optimal performance.

No matter what I try I can't get the ram to run at 3600 MHz.
I've used the Ryzen DRAM calculator but some of the timings, even in safe seem very tight and low for me.
