I’m going to agree with Bruce on this one. We’ve had a Brother HL-2270DW for a
few years now, and it’s never let us down. It was a little finicky getting the
wireless set up, but once setup it’s an absolute snap to add to a Mac. And the

> an ancient OWC FW800 drive
I have done (am doing) this with a 2011 iMac. I have a Crucial 480GB SSD in
an ancient OWC FW800 drive case.
Using the BlackMagic Speed Test on the two drives shows the internal disk is
50% faster that the external SSD, but that does not show up in real-world
responsiveness. No contest, really.
Cool tool Bruce !
uh, I should rephrase that !

Since Macs have always seemed attractive to graphics and video not having a
way to upgrade GPU is very much a disadvantage. And no USB upgrades either
is seriously short sighted. Yeah, I know 2007.
Good tip on the diagrams.
Apple did not do service techs any big favors with such a design either.

No iMacs have ever had PCI slots.

I was not familiar with your model. I thought maybe it had a PCI slot
behind a trap door.
If you have had it for a while I am rather surprised you do not have the
disassembly down to a fast routine.
My experience has been that if I was going to keep an old machine going I
had to learn to work on

Maybe so, but ya gotta stay Flossy.
I am not familiar with your model. But is a USB 3.0 connection just as
viable a swap? Seems USB 2 is plenty fast and comparable to FW800.
USB 3.0 enclosures might be less money. Especially on tigerdirect.
Sometimes you might not be familiar with the name but
Adrian, if I start listening to Fergie, does that mean Apple will hire me as an
executive?
But seriously, I would still need a Firewire 800 enclosure. If I go to a
trusted source, like OWC, they cost $60 - $70 new. I’ve seen cheap ones on eBay
for ~$30. Would it be safe to use a no-name brand
I have a 2008 20" iMac 2.66 Core2Duo with 2 GB of ram, a 3TB hard drive and
10.11.4 and sometimes it is dog slow. I can get 6 GB of ram used for about $70
on eBay and am thinking that might help.
The modern Internet uses a phenomenal amount of resources just to view it.
Firefox wants 1+ gig of
I fully agree on this. Latest and Greatest on a mismatched machine is "
bloatest and slowest". Too much going on which you may not be able to turn
off. Some code hacker might offer a disentangled version but then the Apple
police would come and get you both. They don't want the FBI or you to mess

I have 4 GB too.
I think that's adequate for most uses (I even run all Adobe CS3 apps
