[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1569189, member: 284358"] I would go with the RAM upgrade first. This will help with things that are currently running. Adding a SSD will only really speed up loading times on applications. After they are in RAM (if you have enough) then they should run as fast as you RAM/CPU/Mobo Chipset combination will allow. Hence upgrading RAM first. Then later on down the road if you want a boost for programs loading up and a noticeable system responsiveness increase, then a SDD may be in order. However keep in mind you may want to keep you existing HDD for storage and add the SSD for you system and applications drive. Not sure about your mac model, but iMacs are not well known for being user upgradable friendly. However you can google a how to video to see if its right for you. Cheers, Joe [/QUOTE]
