Dear experts,
My iMac has gotten painfully slow lately -- internet, Word, whatever. Seemed to get worse after I doubled the RAM recently, and dumped a lot of files. (It's OS 10.4.11, 2GHz, 512 MB). I see someone says to check permissions via disc utility, but I can't figure that out. Someone else says to go to Energy Saver, Options, then "Processor performance", but I don't see that menu. OnyX, tho recommended, is evidently only for OS 6 or higher. I'm grateful for any suggestions.
