[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1643248, member: 46727"] Ignoring your more difficult problem (memory) for now..... the Samsung SSD will work but since you're running Yosemite, you will be unable to get TRIM support for it. Otherwise the drive should work, albeit slower than if you had TRIM support. However, you really need to re-think your overall strategy with the iMac. Memory modules do not all of a sudden fail, especially to where you can only run 2 GB in a machine that can take 16 GB. I would guess you have a logic board problem, possibly the GPU, or something else. You really need to take the machine to an Apple store and let them run diagnostics on it. The diagnostics are free as long as you use an Apple store. You can overcome the TRIM problem by downloading "[URL="http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/"]Trim Enabler[/URL]" but be sure to read all the developer's caveats about using it. [/QUOTE]
