I just purchased a used imac (isight) g5 dual core 2, 17" screen. System profiler shows 2-512K sticks of memory. But my first attempts to use the mac...every operation is extremely slow, after each click I have to wait a few seconds, the wheel spins, and eventually, sometimes after a very long wait I can click to the next function. Running tiger 10.4.8. It acts like it has no memory and each command is accessing the harddrive, like an old G3 does with newe software and low memory. I want to do a clean wipe and re install with panther (the newest system discs I own) , but it won't let me. Not sure what this could be. Could the memory just be bad, both sticks? How do I diagnose this? anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
