In addition to Mike's advice, the cost of service to upgrade the RAM (assuming you have a 21.5" that can be upgraded) can be expensive as iMacs are difficult and time consuming to take apart and put back together again. I think you would be better served to upgrading to an external SSD if you are using a hard disk based system including a Fusion drive.

Thanks again for your reply but I ordered a 21.5" iMac model no. MHK23LLA from Costco.com (online w/free shipping). The next day I was in the local Costco warehouse and saw they had a 21.5" iMac that was $200 more than the online unit and when I checked out why, found out it was model MHK33LLA that was "late 2020" version with more features but still 8GB memory. I think I will be able to live with that. Bottom line is I was able to cancel the online order and brought the warehouse unit home with me.

There were some perks included in the Costco purchase price. DJH
