[QUOTE="Shikarnov, post: 1179665, member: 49413"] Hi All, My wife has an iMac (24" 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 1TB HD [800GB Available], SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 130, OSX 10.6) which she basically uses to play World of Warcraft, surf the 'net, and to manage her photography library with Aperture. She told me today that recently her computer needed to "think" during simple photo manipulations like adjusting exposure, applying sepia tones, and etc. She was rather emphatic that there was nothing unusual or special about these recent pictures -- except that the computer was taking longer to process. I'm concerned that this may be the beginning of a slippery slope into deeper performance problems, and I'm wondering if you guys have any advice to help keep the system running like new. (It would be nice if there was some definite cause for the slow down given her rather light usage, but being a former Windows user, I'm more than willing to accept the notion that even Macs may require routine maintenance.) Thanks in advance for your ideas, advice, etc. Z [/QUOTE]
