Below are the specs for my first Mac in 2009. This was the base model. I ordered it with the terabyte drive and cheaply and easily upgraded it to 24 GB RAM.

Perhaps Apple was ahead of the curve:)

“The iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 21.5-Inch Aluminum (Late 2009) features a 3.06 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (E7600), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 3 MB shared level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz system bus, 4 GB of RAM (1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM), a 500 GB or 1 TB (7200 RPM) hard drive. .”

Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
