older iMac hardware limitation for upgrade OS X

I learned the hard way that I have an iMac that cannot be upgraded to Yosemite due to it's hardware/serial number being older. I am retiring it to buy another refurbished iMac and don't want to repeat my mistake. Can you tell me what year/model I should seek to avoid the update limitation?
