[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1616611, member: 131855"] I'm not sure which version of the OS you have but here's an idea that should provide some insight. 1. Reboot the Mac so you are starting form scratch. 2. Open Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder) and look at the memory tab. Look at either page in / page out totals or swap used) 3. Now go about business as usual until things slow down then look at the swap totals again. Post the results and we'll have a better idea of how much adding more memory would help. I suspect additional memory would help though. That's quite a bit going on with only 4 GB of memory. [/QUOTE]
