[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1143168, member: 56231"] The slowing down may - and I hope I'm wrong - be the logic board failing. Disk Utilities may not be able to detect that. With one or two of the "slow" applications running, open Activity Monitor from Utilities and observe where all the processing power is going. Report back. [size=2]An example: using Camino, which is a lightweight browser, my eMac slows down terribly on a website called issuu, which hosts images and flash animation. When loading pages from that site, processor usage climbs to the 90+% level, and everything else slows to a crawl. Eventually the browser gives up and force-quit is required.[/size] [/QUOTE]
