[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1584902, member: 110816"] The [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.8-24-inch-aluminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html"]specs[/URL] of your iMac say that you upgrade to 6GB of memory using 1 2GB (your current one) and a 4GB stick. The upgrade is very easy, the slots are the bottom of the iMac. Remove the cover, pull one of the sticks out and push a new one in. Now as far as upgrading to Mavericks goes, you have to ask yourself if you really want/need to. If things are working well with Snow Leopard (which is the minimum version of OS X for a lot of apps) then you might want to stick with this until that situation changes or if you upgrade to a newer Mac. Newer versions of OS X are inherently going to be designed for newer versions of Mac with higher hardware specs and capabilities, so while your iMac is compatible, you have to realize that you might take a performance hit that might or might not be suited to you..
