[QUOTE="poppi, post: 1941009, member: 214058"] Thank you RedDave. The iMacs I am considering are now featured on the Apple site and are all labeled M3. All 3 have 2 Thunderbolt ports but only the upper two have two USB 3 ports, the ;lowest one has no USB ports and no "Gigabit internet " (the top two do have that feature).The lower two have 256 GB storage the top one has 512 GB. All 3 have 8 GB "unified memory"?? My present iMac is a 20" early 2008 with 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 DDRAM, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB (none of this makes any sense to me). I am at OS 10.11.6 El Capitan (highest available for this antique). Several years ago my Mac became very slow so I put all my photos on a 4TB EHD. It has 4TD capacity with 11,000 photos consuming 65 GB space which is why I am wonering if they could be stored directly in the 256 or 512 GB memory options. Hope this helps to clarify my confusion. If you need further in fo please ask Thanks again Ignorant poppi [/QUOTE]
