Performance problems with iMAC
I own this iMAC:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i3
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 5.86 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.64f5
The problem i m facing is this:
Lately i've noticed really slower performance on my iMAC... thing is that i can even actually hear the processor overworking for practically doing nothing memory demanding.. (and no this wasn't the case some time ago)
So i was wondering are there any possible check ups i should do and see what's need to be fixed...? (i do have the latest updates on all my software including MAC OS) Maybe some sort of antivirus check as well? (not familiar with the case of MAC - virus relevance.. don't know how valneruble MAC are to them and how to check on it so enlight me on this one as well if possible)
And in general any advice for my situation would be really appriciated..thank you in advance.
