[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1585452, member: 175845"] There's nothing wrong with staying with Snow Leopard, especially if you don't need any Mavericks "features", and as mentioned, your MS Office 2004 and any other PPC apps won't run with any OS X later than SL. But upgrading your RAM can sure help, and often you can get a 6-8% speed boost using matched pairs or RAM. Check the specific limitations for your particular iMac at: [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html]Apple iMac Specs (All iMac Tech Specs) @ EveryMac.com[/url] Then maybe check out the memory that's available: [url=http://www.canadaram.com/apple_imac_intel.htm]Canada RAM sells memory in Canada - Apple Macintosh iMac intel Core2Duo, CoreDuo 17", 20" and 24"[/url] PS: You can always make a clone of your SL to an external volume with CCC and upgrade it to Mavericks and then you could have both OS X versions available to use.
