[QUOTE="bboggess, post: 1427109, member: 221378"] 2GBytes of ram is the minimum spec for Lion. Mine was sluggish when I purchased my mini last year. Upgrading to 8 GBytes and it is quite stable. Open activity monitor and look at the number of "page outs". This will indicate swapping Ram out to disk which will slow the machine down noticeably. The larger the number, the more paging to disk. The only real solution would be to upgrade the RAM. Bill Boggess [/QUOTE]
