I'm currently using a late 2013 imac that is running like garbage.
Its a 21" 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, and its running El Capitan.
From the moment it boots, its slow. Excruciatingly slow. its using nearly 90% of the physical memory just on running finder.
I've tried every cleaning solution i could find, but nothing solved the problem.
I'm exploring the option of adding an external SSD and booting from that.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
To my understanding, this would provide greater improvements over upgrading the ram.
Can anyone help me out with some insight/solutions
Thanks
