[QUOTE="Canoetripper, post: 741323, member: 70764"] I'm a Mac newbie. I just bought an 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with Leopard 10.5.5, and I immediately added 2 GB of RAM (now 3GB total). While it seemed to work okay out of the box, it now takes 2-5 minutes to load a web page, if the page even loads at all. Often the progress bar freezes halfway across, or I get something like a "failed to load page" message. My old Toshiba laptop (with all sorts of junk loaded on it), on the other hand, loads the same pages just fine (in a few seconds). I have doubts it's one of the few additional apps I've installed to this point. -- I've tried both Safari and Firefox. -- I've tried connecting to my router via ethernet instead of Airport. -- I've tried using different Static IP addresses instead of the auto setting. I am BEYOND frustrated and am about ready to declare my brand new iMac to be little more than a boat anchor. I'm not sure where to go next. Any thoughts are welcome!! [/QUOTE]
