- 20"iMac, 2.16ghz dual core
Looking for some advice please.
I have a 20" iMac with a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory of 1GB 667MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, and my Start p Disk is Macintosh HD and am running Tiger 10.4.11
I keep getting error messages saying my Start Up Disk is nearly full - they other day I had to delete loads of stuff before I could make an iDVD, and it even prevented me from using Back Up the last day or 2.
I have nothing in my trash can (I empty it regularly) and I don't have loads of documents. My main use is music (I have 14,000 songs on iTunes), plus 20 or so Garage Band projects.
Can anyone tell me how I can overcome this - do I need to buy more memory for my Mac? And is there anything cheaper than the £90 the Apple Store want for an upgrade.
Please excuse my ignorance, but this is really stressing me out at the moment so grateful for any tips and/or advice.

Probably answered this myself - have only 1.15Gb free on hard disk - need to sort out contents, though I am struggling to work out why its so full!
