[QUOTE="thisoldmac, post: 1637907, member: 339682"] I'm starting to lean more towards the 27" now, my only concern is about the system requirements for the next OS X release. Mavericks and Yosemite require iMac 2007 and newer, if Apple decided to bump up the requirements with the next OS X release, the 2009 model may just make the cut if not fail the requirements (some features in Yosemite require a 2012 iMac or newer)... I found a similar model (2009 27") 2nd gen i5 2.66GHz with an upgraded 16GB and it says it has two hard drives? One is a 240 GB "SSD" start disk and the other is a 1 TB "SATA" disk... they're asking $1,099 for it (a little over budget but if it's worth it I can manage it). I've been doing some research and although the next OS X won't be released until later this year, some are saying the 2009 model may still meet the requirements, which is what I'm hoping for. I guess I'll just have to wing it? [/QUOTE]
