I am running a late 2009 i7 27” iMac, but I have 20GB of RAM and a hybrid drive in it.Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software.

Last fall I took the busted one in to the Apple Store and found the problem was a bad video card, a cheap fix.
The OWC DIY kit had everything I needed. Catalina on (1) 2011 MacBook Air 13″, buttery smoothly.

I upgraded to High Sierra some time ago and I noticed that my built-in CD drive no longer recognizes that a disc in present and will not play. I then replaced the optical drive with an OWC data doubler 1TB SSD and the 2009 Mac now performs better than my newer Mac. Only 4GB’s but works buttery smoothly.

macOS Sierra version 10.12.6, but now it barely runs. I did both to my machine and it was wonderful. High-sierra was running well, but I couldn't use this operating system with dual screens so I went back to sierra. 2.
Also, the Core 2 Duo is a very old CPU technology, and it may struggle on complex webpages like Facebook.It won't turn it into any kind of powerhouse compared to a 2015 MacBook even or any new portables, but inexpensive upgrades will make it all feel more relaxed.To subscribe to this RSS feed, copy and paste this URL into your RSS reader. Systems with other OS versions listed and an asterisk are capable of running that version of the operating system (but no higher) and with limitations. I've also got a 2009 i-mac, 27 inch, but with 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7. Good luck.I can't use it anymore because it is super-super-slow. I just bought from OWC and installed 16 GB RAM and a 1TB SSD with the DIY kit in a 2010 21″ iMac that I picked up used for $400.

The OWC installation videos are great, much better than some of the other teardown/fixit sites that have only step by step pictures. 3.Hard Drive 460GB to 1TB.Question, I have an early 2009 24″ iMac. And is there anything I can do? I guess the days of this beast are numbered, in terms of OS upgrades, but it is still going relatively strong after 10 years, amazing really. The iMac, Late 2009 does not run Mojave.

…Someone just gave me their old iMac 21.5″ late 2009 desktop computer.

But I am considering upgrading it.Since SSD is a big speedup, more RAM will let it 'breathe' a lot better doing multiple tasks... like having more browser windows open. I think your processor may not be upgradeable to 32gb but check that one out. It was well worth it.Thanks G, we always do our best to be the best to give our customers the best!PS… no idea what a model identifier is.. For a few hundred bucks I have a great machine. Catalina on (1) 2008 iMac 24″, internet, mail photo’s, and all default apps work fine, but only 4GB ram so it can be a tad slow. At any rate, it became super fast after these upgrades. Other issues I've had, which you may also have, or may encounter are the dodgy optical drive, the graphics card failing (fixed with the bake remedy) and recently the old HDD failing.
