Clogged up 2008 iMac

[Spink10]

Likely a good move, especially if you're not maxing out what you have. If you don't already have one, going from a HDD to SSD will give you a noticeable performance boost.

I have a 64GB SSD in it. Kind of regret only doing a 64GB SSD. Not sure I want to reopen it up. Also having problems with imagine retention after about 5 minutes.

That was a response to another poster who has a 2009 model, with a max of 8GB of RAM, so most of it doesn't apply to theirs, either.

Actually, the late 2009 can take 16GB of RAM.

That's not the model that poster has. Theirs is the Early 2009 model, which only supports up to 8GB.

Both you and Spink10 have the Early 2009 iMac, which supports a maximum of 8GB of RAM. Brian Y was referring to the Late 2009 iMac, which supports up to 16GB, but that doesn't apply to any of the iMacs being discussed in this thread.
