[QUOTE="MSue, post: 1770168, member: 395644"] [b]El Capitan, Yosemite, or Mavericks? (2008 iMac)[/b] Thank you, Patrick! However, would I be better off with Yosemite, Mavericks, or a lower version? Someone else said: "Get something below 10.10 (Yosemite). The newer versions have so much disk I/O it could fry the older hard drive." Do you think this is accurate? ([url]https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/124259/best-version-of-osx-for-2008-imac/186509#186509?newreg=0950497e9ea24d1e92a6066da4af642a[/url]) FYI, I am NOT planning on getting an SSD. Thank you! :) [/QUOTE]
