[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1801682, member: 42497"] Simple. You purchased an underperforming iMac with a slow as molasses 5400rpm laptop style drive instead of one with an SSD. You can attach an SSD via USB3 externally, clone over the contents of your hard drive, select the external in System Preferences > Startup Disk as the boot disk by highlighting (selecting) and you will notice a huge increase. Also alas to install more memory you have to crack it open and just about dismantle everything to get to the memory slots, not recommended by Apple. A 27" model has the door in the rear for user installation of up to four memory slots. [/QUOTE]
