[QUOTE="jobborrow, post: 620990, member: 51642"] Hi guys, I've just converted from PC to Mac, so I still don't know what I'm talking about yet as I am corrupted by years of PC use! I've got a 2nd hand iMac 2ghz intel core duo 20" currently only 512 of Ram, running Leopard. My new RAM is on its way to bump it to 2GB. Here's my question: My iMac seems a little 'jittery' like the screen refresh is slow or something, it all works fine but for example, when I was running Photoshop it worked perfectly but things didn't move fluidly around the screen, there's more of a jump effect. Is this because I'm still low on RAM? My PC runs Vista with 2gb - it's like lightening, I have another PC running XP with 512 - very quick, but my MAC which I expected to beat the PC on all fronts low memory or not, seems not to run 100% smoothly with the graphics, it's not bad, I just expected better. I can't adjust the screen refesh rate so it can't be that, the only thing I can think of is the RAM. The processor is faster than any of my PCs, can anyone shed any light here, I really want to be a 100% zealous Mac convert! [/QUOTE]
