[QUOTE="aveclaudenum, post: 1000843, member: 144265"] Hello, I've been having trouble with my 2008 imac. It runs slow and often freezes on even the most basic of tasks, yet when I check activity monitor for processes taking up memory, I never have more than 5 or 6% in use amongst all processes combined. Here are my specs: Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac8,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00 SMC Version (system): 1.29f1 [IMG]http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv213/foreverkins/Screenshot2010-02-15at112056AM.png[/IMG] I've checked/repaired the drive in disk utility and it changes nothing. I also did a clean reinstall a couple months ago when this happened, but the problem slowly came back. Not sure why it's doing this. Any advice? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
