[QUOTE="havenrich, post: 1641256, member: 289410"] Mac Specs: iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 GHz (E8135) 20-inch (early 2009) Model # A1224(EMC 2266) Model ID iMac9,1 It would appear that I must add RAM. I see where I can buy 8GB(2 4GB boards) for ~$100 and install it/them myself in the bottom slots of my machine. I have an external 1.5 TB hard drive which can hold a bootable clone of my iMac in its own partition as well as transferred files to make more room on the iMac's hard drive to get to the 20% recommended minimum. This would allow me to have Yosemite even though I don't need or necessarily want all the new "bells and whistles" which the marketers have foisted upon us. The basic question is should I just get Mountain Lion as it would be "supported" and I only have an iPhone 4s and that might synch properly with OS X v10.8? [/QUOTE]
