EtreCheck Review IMAC Late 2009
I am having very poor performance on my IMAC from late 2009. I am wanting to speed it up. I am not opposed to upgrading RAM or switching to SSD drive, but I would rather fix software issues first before dropping the money. See below EtreCheck Report. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
