My TV has an HDMI Cable port but my mac does not. Would a USB to HDMI adapter work for this? My TV also has a usb port. Would a USB connection between them work as well?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Depending on your year and model iMac, you will need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter or Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

Would you be able to do me the hugest favor, and go one step further and tell me which one? >.< I would truly appreciate it. (I'm pretty crappy with technology..)
You need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter or cable.
Good Luck

I'll add some additonal advice and help.
If you want to speed up your current iMac, your model can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM memory.
Here are the specs. for the RAM modules you need.

You can purchase correct and reliable Mac RAM from online Mac RAM sources Crucial Memory or OWC (macsales.com).
