[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1482355, member: 24160"] 4 GB should be plenty for that. I get some of what you're describing even with an SSD on first pass through of Coverflow - although, as in your experience, all of our Macs do run Coverflow pretty smoothly. Have you an issue with anything other than Coverflow? You could try [URL="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/freememory/id460931672?mt=12"]this app[/URL]. I keep it around because my machine is limited to 4 GB and both Safari and Firefox can eat that all up like no tomorrow. It'll give you a quick glance at how much free memory you have right on the Menu bar to see if that's the issue and 2 click access to freeing up memory also. [/QUOTE]
